Amazon has donated its 50 millionth pound of food to New York City's largest food rescue nonprofit, City Harvest, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to provide food to those in need. The company delivered the food from its own Whole Foods Market stores and a nearby Amazon Fresh warehouse on April 1, with a pledge of $150,000 to support City Harvest's mission to rescue and deliver food to people in need across the city. The 50 million pounds of food donated by Amazon is equivalent to enough food to feed 45,630 families for a year. City Harvest operates a fleet of 23 trucks seven days a week, delivering food to 400 pantries, soup kitchens and community food programs. The nonprofit has seen an 85% increase in average monthly visits to New City food pantries and soup kitchens compared to 2019.
