Helping an Upper East Side institution serve the whole city.

 

New York Common Pantry "is dedicated to reducing hunger throughout New York City while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency." They work toward the reduction of hunger and food insecurity through an array of programs that function to establish long-term independence for those they serve. Following a rebrand and broadening of  geographic range in 2014, Petting Zoo began working with the Pantry to develop a more refined way of telling their important story of growth, impact, and achievement in their annual reports.

 

 

Building the case to support great causes in the big league.

 

Major League Baseball Players Trust is the charitable arm of the Major League Baseball Players Association. The Trust brings players together to support worthwhile causes and encourage others in their communities to do the same. In 2016, Petting Zoo worked with the Trust to make the way it communicates about its mission and work easier to understand and more appealing to players in its annual report.
