Kathy Goldman

Kathy began working on food issues in 1965 in the South Bronx, responding to parent complaints about the low quality of school lunches. She actively participated in and provided leadership to the successful efforts to win federal funds for school breakfast, summer meals, after-school meals, food stamps, and senior meals. In 1980 she founded the Community Food Resource Center, and later the Food Bank, one of the city’s largest soup kitchens in Harlem, and two senior dinner programs utilizing public school facilities after school hours.
