Feed it Forward is a movement to create awareness and fundraising opportunities for GrowNYC—the single largest entity impacting the green-ness and sustainability of NYC and the wellness of New Yorkers. GrowNYC makes New York New York. The beauty of GrowNYC is that it exists across all segments of society; bringing the same high quality produce and farm products to both those dining at Michelin star restaurants and to those making the most of their SNAP Benefits.
Every single New Yorker can be a part of GrowNYC. Without our farmers markets, recycling programs, school and community gardens, New York would be a very different city. GrowNYC does more for the health, wellness and beauty of New York and New Yorkers than any other entity—and has been doing so without fail for the past fifty years. And yet, GrowNYC is not widely known.
For every New Yorker to have a sense of stewardship for GrowNYC and by extension, for New York City, we suggest establishing a series of structured dinners. As a guest at a Feed it Forward dinner event, we ask you to either donate to GrowNYC, to share GrowNYC’s work with 10 other New Yorkers, or to agree to host your own Feed it Forward dinner. Each participant will take on the stewardship of their own dinner based on a loose structure. Each dinner will be a creative panoply of food, fun, and farm-to-table gustatory joy; a celebration of making NYC a more green, livable city for all New Yorkers—that can be shared via word of mouth and on social media.
Our end goal? Build a critical mass of support and expanded connection and awareness leading up to our 50th gala event.
