WE’RE A NEW YORK BASED NON-PROFIT CHARITY
At Act of Random Kindness, our mission has evolved to meet the deepest needs of our community. We believe that while everyone deserves access to healthy food, some of our neighbors require targeted nutritional support to heal, recover, and thrive. Our work is now a two-pronged approach:
- Ensuring Foundational Food Security: We partner with local community-based pantries in schools and churches to provide a welcoming and respectful environment for anyone facing food insecurity. Through these hubs, guests can access a variety of non-perishable foods, fresh produce, and dairy, ensuring no one in our community goes hungry.
- Food and Nutrition Education For People with Neurological Disparities: Going beyond general hunger, we now provide a groundbreaking nutritional education for neurological recovery recognizing a critical gap in our community, we have launched a specialized program to address neurological disparities. This initiative provides targeted nutritional education and food support to individuals living with the effects of brain injuries, strokes, and developmental disorders. By providing the specific foods that fuel brain health, we empower our clients to aid their recovery and improve their quality of life. This initiative delivers:
- Targeted Food Support: Curated foods with the specific nutrients needed to support brain health, aid in recovery from brain injuries, and assist with developmental disorders.
- Empowering Education: Workshops and resources that give individuals and their caregivers the knowledge to use food as a powerful tool for well-being.
Whether you are experiencing a temporary hardship or managing a long-term health challenge, ARK is here to help with dignity, compassion, and the right resources to make a tangible difference.
