The cast and crew of Gossip Girl showed their true colors in New York on Monday by donating a quarter-ton of food to the annual Daily News Readers Care to Feed the Hungry Food Drive. The cast and crew were at the Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, where the popular series is filmed, to present the huge bounty to City Harvest.
The 500 pound collection of perishable and nonperishable items were then delivered to one of the more than 600 community centers served by City Harvest.
City Harvest collects millions of pounds of excess food and then delivers it to community food programs throughout NYC. In this season of need, New Yorkers are responding to the Daily News food drive and Kids Can Help Week. Preliminary figures show New York adults and school children donated more than the 770,000 pounds collected in last year’s drive. This year’s drive ends Friday.
