World-renowned speaker, author and peak performance strategist Anthony Robbins has partnered with the nonprofit group Food Bank For New York City to help feed local families in need.

Unleash The Power Within®, Anthony Robbins’ cornerstone event, is coming to the Meadowlands March 29-April 1, 2012.

What began nearly 30 years ago as Robbins’ individual effort to feed homeless families has now grown into the Anthony Robbins Foundation’s International Basket Brigade, which feeds more than three million people in more than 56 countries every year.

“I was 11 years old when a man I’d never seen gifted my family with a huge basket of Thanksgiving goodies we couldn’t afford ourselves,” stated Robbins.

“We’re grateful to have Tony’s support at such a critical time when three million New Yorkers are struggling to put food on the table. His sentiment is inspiring, and we hope it echoes through the city,” said Margarette Purvis, President and CEO, Food Bank For New York City.

For 28 years Food Bank For New York City has served as the city’s major hunger-relief organization, working to end food poverty throughout the five boroughs. As the city’s hub for integrated food poverty assistance, the Food Bank tackles the hunger issue on three fronts — food distribution, income support and nutrition education — all strategically guided by its research.

For the past three decades, Anthony Robbins has served as an advisor to leaders around the world.

What began as a young person’s desire to help individuals transform the quality of their lives has grown into Robbins’ lifelong crusade as he is called on by leaders from every walk of life–presidents, political leaders, advocates for humanity, CEOs of multinational corporations, psychologists, peak performance athletes, world-class entertainers, teachers and parents.
