Food Bank For New York City

***EDITORS NOTE: WE HIT THE FIRST GOAL OF $2700 IN UNDER AN HOUR - WHAT 

****EDITORS NOTE: WE HIT $5400 IN 12 HOURS - THAT'S NUTS

FINAL GOAL: $10,000 - still deciding what to do for it but don't worry, we will figure something out. 


Just because Jack Johnson is a NEGATIVE on the ice 

Doesn't mean we can't be a POSITIVE for our community

Today I am starting a fundraiser for New York City Food Banks in honor of our good and dear friend Jack Johnson. 

Yes, we watch him play, it's bad and seemingly, it's just beginning but that doesn't mean we can't help out those in need during these troubling times. 

If we reach the fundraising goal before Jack Johnson inevitability scores a goal on accident - I will purchase and wear a Jack Johnson jersey to the 1st game they allow a packed house at MSG.

If we exceed the goal - I will set a new goal and I will create a full New York Ranger parody version of "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson 

Thank you for being part of such a loving community

Goal 1 / $2700 - Purchase and wear a Jack Johnson Jersey to MSG when it's open again

Goal 2/ $5400 - NYR Parody song of "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson 

Goal 3/ $???? - ?????

Food Bank For New York City has been working to end food poverty for over 35 years. As the city’s largest hunger-relief organization, they employ a multifaceted approach centered on helping low-income New Yorkers overcome their circumstances and achieve greater independence. Their mission is to end hunger by organizing food, information and support for community survival, empowerment, and dignity. 

Since the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak, Foodbank for NYC has seen a nearly 100% increase in demand for meals. The best way to help is by offering a monetary donation to help them with operations and product acquisition. Every $1 donated can provide 5 meals for those in need, so every little bit counts. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

As the holiday season approaches, we find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic, a scary and unprecedented time that has affected us all both emotionally and financially. As you know, some have felt the hardships and burdens brought on and heightened by the current circumstances more than others, and with the winter months ahead, these challenges will only worsen for many of our fellow New Yorkers.

Social responsibility is one of the core values of Navillus and its employees. We believe in the importance of giving back to our communities and helping those in need. Today, 1.1 million New Yorkers are facing hunger, including one in five children, and these numbers are rising (Food Bank for NYC). Many rely on soup kitchens and food pantries just to make ends meet, but many of these providers struggle to keep up with the need, particularly in times like these. In partnership with Food Bank for New York City, Navillus is hoping to help as many New Yorkers as we can this Holiday Season but we need your help.

On December 1, 2020 Navillus will be launching a food drive which will continue through December 21, 2020. Navillus will be accepting both food and monetary donations. Nonperishable food can be donated at 633 3rd Avenue, New York, NY as well as numerous construction sites where Navillus is working. Donation boxes will be provided at these locations. Monetary donations can be made here. The GoFundMe page will be transparent where everyone can follow the progress of the appeal in real time. Please note we cannot accept cash in person. According to the Food Bank for NYC, a donation of $1 helps provide 5 meals. Navillus will match all monetary donations up to our fundraising goal of $20,000.  

Help us make a difference this Christmas.

Warmest Regards,

Navillus Team

Dear friends,

Over the past few weeks, as election news has consumed us all and winter has begun to close in, we wanted to acknowledge in some small yet meaningful way that there are a lot of people hurting right now, from both the economic hardships brought about by COVID and the lack of resources to serve communities in need.

One week from now - on Sunday, December 6 - we will be running a "virtual marathon" in New York City to raise money for Food Bank for NYC, which is the city's largest hunger-relief organization, and has been working to end food poverty in the five boroughs for over 36 years.

In support of this effort, we've set up this donation page to raise funds, with a goal of $10,000 by December 6.  We also will personally match up to $1,500 each to help us get closer to our goal (and hopefully motivate all of you to chip in however you can!).

A marathon, is, well... a marathon.  The training has gone on in stops and starts since September, and we feel  as ready as we'll be for the day.  As we get closer to the date of the virtual run, we will send out more details for those of you who would like to join in and run portions of the route along with us or offer support from the sidelines.  

Thank you for your generosity; we hope you had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!
