A new opportunity with the City’s emergency feeding program has just been made available to all foodservice businesses in NYC.
The GetFoodNYC emergency food distribution program has released a competitive bid for local vendors to produce and deliver meal packs to seniors.
Because this bid must meet FEMA requirements for reimbursement, it includes a number of somewhat strict participation requirements.
Highlights of this program include:
- Short 15-day response window
- Must provide a minimum of 7,200 total meals per week
- Meal packs must include 6 meals per box and can include fresh, shelf-stable or frozen foods
- Meals must meet strict nutritional guidelines
- Vendor must provide door-to-door delivery of the meals
- Meals should where possible, be culturally sensitive
- Restaurants and catering businesses may apply alone or as a group of businesses
- Price and local sourcing will be prioritized
All correspondence regarding this program should be directed to the GetFoodNYC team.
