THE STORY BEHIND THE GIVE BACK BODEGA
For New Yorkers, the neighborhood bodega is more than a place to grab breakfast. It's a community staple where food and connection come together. For Brooklyn native Danny Garcia, that connection is personal. Raised in a Dominican and Puerto Rican household, Danny's passion for food as a way to bring communities together is also reflected in his developing Latin-inspired hospitality concept, Only Goods, inspired by NYC bodega culture.
That shared belief in the power of food and community makes his partnership with No Kid Hungry a natural fit. Timed ahead of Thanksgiving, the Give Back Bodega turns an everyday NYC food ritual into an opportunity to spotlight childhood hunger and rally support for the organization's goal of helping 10 million more kids get the meals they need every day by 2032.
