Every dollar moves the bus.
1 in 4 New Yorkers face food insecurity. Over 1.5 million people in NYC don't know where their next meal will come from. Hope Bus answers that, weekly, in every borough.
1 family
Covers one hot meal served to a family of four at a Hope Bus stop.
5 families
Feeds five families at a single weeknight distribution.
A city block
Powers a full block of neighbors served at one Hope Bus stop.
An entire route

One-time, or set it monthly.
Monthly is what we count on. It's the difference between hoping the bus runs and knowing it will. You can also pick a specific borough on the Locations page.
