*Academic enrichment programs during the school year, anchored by a superb character-building summer residential camp experience.

*A 9 year commitment to each child, free of charge.

Each child benefits from a network of support and gains increased social skills, enhanced self-esteem, positive core values and a greater sense of personal responsibility.

Project Night Night donates over 25,000 Night Night Packages each year, free of charge, to
homeless children who need our childhood essentials to feel secure, cozy, ready to learn,
and significant. Each Night Night Package contains a new security blanket, an age-
appropriate children’s book, and a stuffed animal — all nestled inside of a new canvas tote
bag. By providing objects of reliable comfort, Project Night Night reduces trauma and
advances the emotional and cognitive well-being of the children we serve.

Every child who receives one of our Night Night Packages leaves the shelter owning a book
which encourages reading and family bonding, a security blanket which can be cuddled, and
a stuffed animal which can become a cherished friend. We have one objective – to deliver
our Night Night Packages to every homeless child in the country who needs one.

Project Night Night is a tax exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Service code. We work with over 10,000 volunteers each year, and we are
the leading provider of nighttime comforts for homeless children.

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine is a national 501(c)3 non-profit food rescue organization, operating in 16 cities and headquartered in New York City, that provides solutions to prevent excess wholesome cuisine from being wasted. RLC provides services such as food waste consulting, excess food delivery, co-branding services, and tax credit assistance.

RLC approaches the two large issues of hunger and food waste in three main ways.

  • First, we localize the issues into sets of communities that can help sustain themselves. We crowdsource the solution of the transportation to the members of the public in these communities as volunteers. After identifying the homeless shelters of a needy community, we proactively find restaurants, hotels, and catering companies with excess food in that vicinity that could help support these disadvantaged communities.
  • Second, we leverage technology to facilitate the identification and handling of excess food. Thus, partner food providers report when excess food is occurring and a web application is used to engage community members, because volunteering with us can be as easy as taking a brisk walk.
  • Third, we tackle food waste at its root, aiming to eliminate as much food waste as possible and bringing the remaining excess food to where it is needed most. The data of when food waste occurs is used in our analysis of what types of food waste could be avoided, and RLC suggests ways that partner food providers can reduce waste at its root.
