Harvest to Haven: Road to Recovery

A look at East Side House’s Journey Through the Pandemic and Look towards Recovery

Introduction

Since the early days of the pandemic, East Side House has seen it as an honor to step up and be there for its community.

The pandemic has presented challenge after challenge, exacerbating the needs of low-income New Yorkers, especially those in the South Bronx. At each turn, East Side House was there.

Follow them here on their journey through the pandemic and learn about their vision for recovery. March 15 2020

East Side House conducts a needs assessment of thousands of participants, family members, and community residents. Results from these surveys indicated two dire needs: the need for food and the need for technology so students could continue to learn.

March 23 2020

All students in East Side House’s Head Start/Early Head Start programs were provided with tablets and home learning kits so they could resume learning from home. Virtual classes began on March 23rd to minimize the time for learning loss. East Side House purchased over 700 tablets and hot spots and distributed them directly to families throughout the Bronx and Northern Manhattan, communities where only about 30% have mobile or broadband access. After learning of the dire need for food, East Side House supporters rallied to secure crops and food that otherwise would be destroyed due to the sudden shut down of schools, stadiums, restaurants, and events. On this day, 43,000 pounds of Cranney Farms potatoes were loaded onto a truck and driven by an Army veteran from Idaho on a truck donated by SOAR Transportation to the South Bronx. 43,000 pounds of potatoes arrived in the South Bronx. Partner Mike Zaro lent his bakery to help East Side House staff and volunteers unload, unbox, and repack potatoes. Despite the pandemic, East Side House staff came out to roll up their sleeves and serve. In about 12 hours, staff packed over 1300 bags of potatoes. These bags were then transported to a vacant building, generously donated by RxR Realty. There, staff boxed the potatoes with other crops and shelf-stable items such as oatmeal, condensed milk, pasta, red sauce, etc.

April 09 2020 April 20 2020 April 25 2020 April 29 2020

East Side House executed its first public distribution of pantry boxes from 4 high-need public housing complexes in the South Bronx. That day, we distributed 1200 boxes, feeding 4,800 people.

May 6 2020

Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, eager to support efforts that relieve hunger and reduce food waste, provides East Side House with sponsorship to help rescue 1 million pounds of food and feed 275,000 people by March 2021. East Side House exceeded that goal. East Side House continues to feed over 5,000 people per week. Hellmann’s Mayonnaise connects East Side House with The Federation of Southern Cooperatives, a network of Black farmers. These farmers have partnered with East Side House to provide 200,000 pounds of crops to East Side House. This initiative helps support small Black-owned businesses while feeding communities in need. East Side House is elected by the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development to provide Learning Labs. Learning Labs are centers where children of essential workers— and students who otherwise couldn’t be home—were able to get in-person support accessing their remote classroom, as well as in-person tutoring, enrichment activities, and food. East Side House helped over 235 families manage the pandemic and keep students on track to succeed in school.

June 2020— January 2021 September 9 2020 September 24 2020 November 13 2020

As East Side House’s hunger relief work grew, they needed more space. East Side House moved into a 16,000 square foot warehouse in the South Bronx. This Harvest to Haven warehouse became the home of all East Side House’s food services. From this center, East Side House continues to feed nearly 6,000 people per week. At the ribbon-cutting event, East Side House was joined by some of its biggest supporters, Nauman Barakat and Bill Mehleisen.

January 1 2021

East Side House provided homedelivered meals to 900 homebound older adults throughout the Bronx for the first time. East Side House was awarded a $6.8 million contract to make sure our oldest neighbors are kept fed and healthy. Meals are delivered by the friendly faces of East Side House staff and young people. This work will continue through 2023. East Side House was on the frontlines getting members of our community vaccinated and protected against the COVID-19 vaccine. East Side House partnered with NYC Health + Hospitals to host vaccination events for our older adults, helping over 800 people get vaccinated. East Side House also partnered with Morris Heights Health Center and the Bronx Rising Initiative to bring vaccines to homebound older adults. East Side House operated 4 Summer Rising programs serving 295 students. These programs were designed, in partnership with NYC public schools, to help students in low-income areas combat learning loss experienced throughout the pandemic. East Side House’s goal is to always keep students on track for academic success, regardless of the student’s zip code. East Side House welcomes students back to full in-person learning. Staff support students getting reacclimated to the classroom and build personal learning plans to get students back on track.

March 2021 June 2021 September 2021 November 18th 2021

East Side House continued to tackle food insecurity in the South Bronx community. To make sure there were full bellies and warm hearts this holiday season, East Side House distributed 1300 Thanksgiving meal boxes to families in need. Special thanks to Alder for making this effort a reality.

COMING IN 2022 . . .

Seeing the continued need for nutritious food in the community, East Side House now plans to build a Community Teaching Kitchen.

Through this kitchen we will provide 3,200 meals per day, training opportunities for young people interested in food services or project management, and create jobs for community members. East Side House thanks Amazon, Macy’s, and Congressman Ritchie Torres for their support of the project.
