Food for Washington Heights Families in Need
Gregorio Luperón High School is a public high school in Washington Heights, New York City, dedicated to serving Latino immigrants that have recently immigrated to New York City.
The Washington Heights community has been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, experiencing disproportionately high numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths, but economic dislocation and unemployment, leading to multiplying stressors like food insecurity, evictions, and mental health crises. Many of our students' families work in food service or other service jobs that have been lost because of the shutdowns
Fresh Youth Initiatives (FYI) has been working for the last months to provide weekly emergency food relief to many of Gregorio Luperón's students and families in dire need of support during this difficult time. However, they are running out of money and may not be able to continue providing the quality food to families in need.
Any donation will help make an impact for our families and other families in Washington Heights. Many thanks in advance for your contribution!

FYI’s mission is empowering youth who have the fewest resources to achieve their greatest potential. We assist low-income children and teens living in Washington Heights/Inwood to flourish in school, navigate transitions, get on track for college and career, and give back to the community. We recognize that adjusting to a new life, language and school, while missing all that is familiar, is a heavy burden to bear. And though parents make sacrifices and work hard to give their kids a better life, many lack the time and know-how to support their children’s academic achievement.
