Our mission to Eat for the Future means we want to create a better world by giving everyone access to nutritious, healthful food. Food insecurity is a longstanding, devastating issue affecting our communities, and it’s only gotten worse with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The urgency to help our neighbors motivates everything we do, and we wouldn’t be able to do it without our amazing community partners like PinkTie.

PinkTie is a community-led charity dedicated to tackling a variety of socioeconomic issues affecting underserved communities in New York. In April 2020, shortly after COVID-19 erupted across the country, PinkTie established its food delivery program, PinkTie Delivers. Through this initiative, they’ve donated food to 42 food banks, churches, and community organizations, and given more than $100,000 to 100 community food pantries across New York City and Long Island. In 2021, PinkTie will launch a new chapter, PinkTie Delivers I NYC, and work closely with HoneyFlower Foods to deliver meals to partnering food pantries in the boroughs and Manhattan. We began working with PinkTie in June, and since the beginning of our partnership, we’ve contributed more than 2,800 HoneyFlower Foods meals to families in support of the PinkTie Delivers initiative.

When asked what motivated PinkTie to build a program to fight hunger, Mike Cave, Founder of PinkTie, said, "Food banks across New York are under immense pressure as they cope with an increase in demand. There is an urgent need to feed thousands of people who have been hit hard by mass layoffs caused by the pandemic. To meet the escalating demand, the PinkTie Delivers program will continue to provide monetary and grocery donations to support food pantries in need.

We’re grateful and humbled to work with dedicated partners like PinkTie to give our communities access to ready-made, quality meals.
