Hunger is still a daily problem for many families in New York City. Food banks and community programs help, but they rely on support to keep meals on the table.
City Harvest works to rescue and deliver fresh food to New Yorkers who need it most. Their annual gala raises funds that help provide millions of meals to people facing food insecurity across the city.
The 2026 Gala: Shaken, Not Stirred will take place on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The evening begins with cocktails at 6:30 PM followed by dinner, a live auction, and a celebration that supports City Harvest’s mission to fight hunger.
When you attend, you help provide meals and support for thousands of families across New York. Get tickets here to help provide meals for New Yorkers in need.
City Harvest’s annual Gala brings together celebrities, influencers, and NYC’s high-profile individuals to honor supporters who have played a significant role in helping us provide high-quality food to New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. Designed by celebrity event planner Colin Cowie, the 2026 Gala: Shaken, Not Stirred serves as City Harvest’s most important fundraising event of the year and recognizes generous supporters of City Harvest and New York City.
With your support, we hope the 2026 Gala: Shaken, Not Stirred will raise enough to help provide more than 12.5 million meals to New Yorkers in need.
