EV Loves NYC started at the height of the pandemic. There was a need for cooked food to share with neighbors in need. As the movement grew, their aim was to build bridges between the East Village and some of the more underserved communities in New York. Now they serve over 70 organizations who come to pick up food from us and ferry it all over NYC.

Because they value the dignity of everyone we serve, basic foodbank meals aren’t good enough. Instead volunteer chefs — who represent nations all around the world — spend time planning menus that represent the different cultures of NYC. They also make vegan meals as well as meat dishes each week catering to cultural and religious needs.

EV Loves NYC continues to strive for food security and for supporting all our neighbors in need with healthy and nutritious meals, so that they can thrive with dignity and self-respect.
