On Tuesday, March 10, 2015, the NY Common Pantry held their annual "Fill the Bag Benefit" at the beautiful Gotham Hall event space in New York City.
The event began with a cocktail reception and an opportunity to purchase a mystery wine and participate in a silent auction. After the cocktail party, guests were led to a formal sit down dinner where Short ribs were on the three-course menu. During the course of dinner, there was an awards presentation where presenters had spoken about how the honorees had helped make an impact on the organization. Through the many speakers guests learned a lot about the help that NY Common Pantry has provided over the years. Due in large part of the assistance that NY Pantry provides, most clients become self-sufficient within a year of joining.
After dinner, a live auction was performed and with guests support, the NY Common Pantry raised over $100,000.
The New York Common Pantry works toward the reduction of hunger and food insecurity through an array of programs that function to establish long-term independence for those served. The NY Common Pantry provides many different programs including: Hot Meals, Live Healthy, Project Dignity, Help 365, & Choice Pantry.
