The Campaign Against Hunger (BSCAH)

TCAH has been responding to the needs of vulnerable New Yorkers for over 24 years. TCAH has grown from a small pantry in a church basement to a robust anti-hunger organization having four distinct food access and distribution models, five urban farms, farmers markets, benefits access services, workforce development, and family and nutrition services. Before the COVID crisis, TCAH served 300,000 New Yorkers with 3 million meals annually. Since the COVID-19 crisis,TCAH has served upwards of 1.5 million individuals in 145 zip codes throughout NYC annually and provided enough healthy food for 35 million nutritious meals, plus other vital programs and services. To meet the increased demand, TCAH also established 155 active community partners. TCAH has a robust Youth Empowerment Program that provides compensated workforce development and work-readiness training to disadvantaged youth ages 14-24. TCAH provides urban farming, culinary, and warehouse programming along with personal, professional, and social development workshops to youth. Youth are also engaged throughout opportunity youth and SYEP.
