Join us in transforming lives

Your financial support makes it possible for Plant Powered Metro New York to provide free and low-cost resources to help thousands of people each year learn about the power of plant-based nutrition.

We are changing the conversation about food and health, and bringing hope and healing to those who need it most.

I’m excited to know that my health is directly related to my consumption of what I eat. Now I feel empowered. Now when I go food shopping, I look for colors and make beautiful, nutritious, and delicious foods. I’m not as intimidated to try new foods and spices. I feel it’s an adventure. Not only am I eating better, but so is my husband, and we’re both enjoying the experience and tastes.

The Jumpstart is a beautiful program to come into… I feel like it’s not only needed, but it’s so rewarding for us as NYC Health + Hospitals employees, because we’re able to not only give to ourselves and our families, but we will end up teaching and [transmitting] this to our communities as well.
— Thamani, Jumpstart Participant

I enjoyed the mentorship sessions because everyone was so supportive of each others journey. We joked, we laughed, we shared stories and struggles — how we overcame weaknesses to foods we were used to eating. We shared food pics and recipes. I enjoyed these moments because it confirmed what I was facing and it felt great knowing that I was not in this by myself. The sense of community that evolved was priceless.

“I had the pleasure of serving on the board for 5 years and was always amazed at the commitment and drive each person has. So many lives have changed for the better because of their work. My plant-based journey began out of concern for my cholesterol, but once I did the Jumpstart about 3 years ago everything clicked. The jumpstart provided such valuable information, ideas, recipes, and shared experience. I highly recommend it to anyone considering this lifestyle change. PPMNY is a worthwhile organization deserving of support so they can continue to share their healing message.”

— Anita Mancini

“PPMNY is one of the few local nonprofits that has a wide and deep reach. Anyone/everyone from anywhere can participate and benefit from their evidence-based teachings. As a mentor for PPMNY’s Jumpstart program, I’ve seen great results firsthand. Case in point is a California Jumpstart participant who in the course of 3 weeks was able to stop taking his blood pressure medication. Their grassroots approach is a necessary pillar toward better health for all.”

“I have transformed my diet and my health and Plant Powered Metro NY has been my main go-to resource. I love their evidence-based education, their programming and their mission, and have personally used so many of their resources to educate myself on WFPB nutrition. I feel better than ever, more empowered than ever, and grateful that PPMNY exists to support us all in achieving our health goals.”

“PPMNY is bringing the evidence of plant-based nutrition for chronic diseases to the greater New York community through education, seminars, and coaching to lay the foundation of a healthy diet. This is crucial for the long term health of people. In a short time, they have steadily and significantly grown their impact, making a real difference. They fill a critical need in healthcare by providing these services that aren’t widely available.”
