We’re in a heatwave! Stay safe, stay hydrated. Be as cool as a cucumber! 🥒💚

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating water-rich fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, cucumbers, oranges, and strawberries.

Stay in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing to help keep your body cool.

Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day.

Use sun protection, including sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses.

Plan around the heat by scheduling outdoor activities for the early morning or evening.

Cool your body with cool showers, damp towels, or by spending time in shaded or air-conditioned areas.

Shoutout to , .katz , , , and for shining a light on Project EATS and the communities we serve.
It was inspiring to witness the incredible work the students created at The Drawing Center under Allison Katz’s guidance throughout this month-long collaboration. Using Katz’s poster-making process as a foundation, the young artists developed original works that were wheatpasted across NYC’s SoHo neighborhood to raise awareness of Project EATS and its mission.
We’re deeply grateful for this meaningful partnership and for the creativity, care, and connection it continues to cultivate.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at Vicente Wolf’s home for such a beautiful evening of conversation, connection, and community.

Gathering in a space filled with creativity and care reminded us how deeply art, food sovereignty, and collective action can bring people together. We’re so grateful to share this work with all of you.

Because of your support, Project EATS will grow and donate more than 10,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce this year across our four farms: Wards Island, Essex Crossing, MGX, and The Rise in Brownsville. Your donations directly benefit families in the communities where we work.

Stay tuned for more events!
