Greenwich St. Jewelers Hosts Raffle Supporting Food Rescue
All proceeds from the G. St x Jewel Boxing raffle will go to City Harvest, which works to end hunger in New York City.
The charitable raffle will run until 10 a.m. EST on Nov. 11. Tickets are priced at $20 each or $100 for six for a chance to win the “Creamsicle” necklace from Greenwich St. Jewelers and Jewel Boxing’s sold-out collaboration.
New York—Greenwich St. Jewelers has launched a charitable initiative to support those affected by changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as a result of the United States government shutdown.
Although the court overturned the Trump administration’s previous announcement that SNAP benefits would stop on Nov. 1, an estimated 42 million Americans—of which 16 million are children—who are enrolled in the program will see cuts and delays to their food stamps this month, reported ABC News.
To assist those at risk of losing access to food, New York City-based retailer Greenwich St. Jewelers has teamed up with Xarissa B., the content creator behind jewelry-focused social media page Jewel Boxing, to launch the G. St x Jewel Boxing raffle benefiting City Harvest.
City Harvest is New York City’s first and largest food rescue organization. Its mission is to end hunger in New York City through food rescue and distribution, education, and other practical and innovative solutions.
“We believe access to food is a basic human right, and that in times like these, our community can make a difference,” said Greenwich St. Jewelers.
The winner of the raffle will receive the “Creamsicle” necklace from the retailer’s most recent sold-out collaboration with Jewel Boxing.
The 14-karat yellow gold necklace features a 6.73-carat emerald-cut citrine and was handcrafted in Greenwich St. Jeweler’s New York City workshop. It is valued at $3,500.
A citrine necklace was chosen for the raffle because it is November’s birthstone and is said to promote positivity, abundance, and joy—qualities that “we all need more of right now,” said Greenwich St. Jewelers.
Tickets for the raffle cost $20 each or $100 for six.
All proceeds will be donated to City Harvest.
The raffle will close on Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. EST.
Participants must be 18 years or older and a U.S. resident to enter.
The winner will be randomly selected and contacted via email or Instagram on Nov. 11.
To purchase tickets for the raffle, visit the Greenwich St. Jewelers website.
