New York City not-for-profit, Nourishing Kitchen, is Going Above and Beyond for Their Clients

(I-Newswire) June 23, 2010 - When The Nourishing Kitchen of New York City has the opportunity to change the lives of those in Harlem they jump at the opportunity. For the past three weeks The Nourishing Kitchen has been working to win a $25,000 grant from Post Foods, even though they are a new not-for-profit they have had an outpouring of support from New York City and beyond.

Every weekend the founder of The Nourishing Kitchen along with several volunteers can be found with laptops all around the city gathering votes for the Post Foods grant. “There are over 9 million people in New York City but sometimes they can be hard to reach,” says Gina Puzzanghera, founder and CEO, “however, when people hear what we are doing they stop in their tracks and vote. It’s fun to see all of the support.”

The Nourishing Kitchen is also reaching out to people in cyber space by posting short videos that urge people to vote. “The videos have been fun, we do them all in one or two takes and they’ve been viewed by thousands of people around the world. We hope they seem them and vote”, says Gina Puzzanhgera. “The videos are as low-tech as you can be, they record them on a cellular phone. “
