We’re excited to have our second Father’s Heart Ministries’ Walkathon: The Comeback 2021! The event will be on Sunday, October 3, 2021. 

2,750 New Yorkers would go hungry without the food supplementation from the Father's Heart Ministries. Since the COVID-19 pandemic brought NYC to a standstill in March of 2020, we’ve seen a nearly 30% increase of guests seeking assistance. Although the city has started to reopen with some degree of normalcy, our climbing guest count and dozens of new guests each week, reflect the reality that people really do still need the food. Our communities were disproportionately affected by the pandemic and are still without resources and methods of recovery. We are also seeing more people on disability and we know that anyone on a fixed income needs food supplementation and other resources. No human being should be denied access to the basic necessity of food and you can be a part of helping us ensure that no one is left behind.

Many in our city are anticipating a comeback and wondering what it will look like for them. Among all the many challenges to be faced, a lack of food for themselves and their families should not be one of them. Neither should the ability to manage finances or be unemployed and/or unemployable. And we know that our children and teens will need social and emotional help to strengthen them for the academic year ahead.
