A MESSAGE FROM Bryanna McQueeney's Fundraising Page
Back in the winter of 2018, I noticed more homeless and hungry people begging on the subway than usual. One frigid evening after work I was riding the subway home feeling helpless about the homeless. When I looked up, I saw a 'City Harvest' banner advertisement. I realized I CAN help by volunteering, so that's exactly what I did! I went to an orientation class and signed up to volunteer shortly after. During summer 2020, I was unemployed and depressed amidst the pandemic s helping others picked me up off my feet. Volunteering to hand out food to those in need is one of the ways I can make a difference.
You too can make a difference to help feed the hungry with a suggested donation of $2.62, $26.2, or $262! This year I am running 26.2 miles in the New York City Marathon and raising $3,500 with City Harvest. Every amount helps. This will be my second marathon and I’m motivated to make every step and dollar count towards OUR goal!!! Thank you!
