Thank you! Your generosity makes it possible for PPMNY to guide our multicultural communities down the path to health-promoting nutrition. This Giving Tuesday, we celebrated with our second annual Plantathon! It was an epic day and we are filled with gratitude for our Plant Powered community.​​

Pocket plantathon app
During Plantathon, we heard from leading physicians, dietitians, educators, chefs, and community members who have experienced the health benefits of eating whole plant foods. ​​Viewers also had the chance to win prizes and learn about products and services that support a healthy plant-based lifestyle. Check out our press release and watch the replays below! You can also enjoy the interviews and culinary demos on our new Pocket Plantathon app.

​While Giving Tuesday 2022 may be over, you can still support others on our shared journey to health through a financial contribution to PPMNY. Through the end of the year, all donations are matched dollar-for-dollar -- up to $50,000! We reach a wide range of people, many of whom suffer from chronic illness, to offer nutrition education, resources, and support — and we can’t do it without you!
