Since the onset of COVID in New York City, helpNYC has been working with their listing partners like established food pantries and community kitchens to make sure they have the resources they need to keep their doors open. In addition to helpNYC’s normal operation, they have started the Food Assistance Collective of New York that helps connect the people providing organizational and technical support to New Yorkers who are food insecure. Increase in need since the onset of COVID-19 has meant over 1,600 new users, with traffic to the website up 87%.
