I'm starting this page to raise money for Monday Night Hospitality (MNH), a program I first became a part of at the age of 14. Nearly 11 years later, you can still find me each Monday night playing a small part in a truly amazing operation.
In rain or shine, snow or hurricane, MNH challenges the stereotypical idea of a New York City soup kitchen or meal service by serving hot, delicious and healthy meals to over 400 New Yorkers each week. On top of this, we make a real impact on our community by offering and providing job search assistance, free health screenings/medical exams and social work services.
The program caters to anyone who may need a helping hand: homeless people and veterans, families struggling to make ends meet, those down on their luck, it doesn’t matter – MNH is there for anyone.
This program is incredible, filled with a family of kind, passionate volunteers who dedicate their time to help those in need.
Please consider making a donation this holiday season to help us continue our important work for New Yorkers in need- any amount counts!

About this year's fundraiser:
Monday Night Hospitality is feeding more and more of our neighbors in need each week - usually 400 meals or more every Monday - and helping those folks with social services. But our kitchen was never initially designed to feed so many people. This year, we are looking to remodel our kitchen to add much needed fridge and freezer space. This will allow us to accept large food donations and even start a food pantry to give groceries to our guests.
