Aramark is raising food for a terrific organization - Queens Community House.  We're conducting a #GiveHealthy food drive to raise fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and other healthy food items. We know that hunger is a health issue and we want to raise food that will have the most positive impact.

Queens Community House is located on the campus of Pomonok Houses, a NYCHA housing development that is home to more than 4,000 residents. PCC is host to a senior center, after school program, and, in the summer months, a camp and teen program. We seek to achieve measurable improvements in the lives of individuals and families living in Pomonok through community engagement and holistic service provision.

When QCH began operations of PCC, more than 50% of survey respondents rated health as a programmatic priority. This prompted what has become multi-faceted health and wellness initiative at the site that now reaches 1,500 people annually. Services includes a weekly community-run farmers market (operating July-November), a food box program, a Food Justice Youth Leadership program, community gardens, and a series of "Cooking and Eating Together" activities and communal potlucks.

Please join us by participating in our partnership with Aramark and #GiveHealthy, we will be able to provide more nutritious food to those who need it most. We not only want to feed people, we want to keep their health in mind as well.

Click on the DONATE button above and go to the donation store where you can pick out and purchase healthy food items. They will be delivered for you directly to Queens Community House.

Thank you for your support!
