Hunger Solutions New York commends Congress for last weekโ€™s passage of the bipartisan Keep Kids Fed Act. The bill is an important first step in mitigating a looming hunger cliff as we approach the expiration of critical pandemic-related flexibilities and benefits, including child nutrition waivers originally set to expire on June 30, 2022.

The legislation:
โ€“ Extends USDAโ€™s authority to issue certain child nutrition waivers, including:
โ€ข Summer nutrition waivers through September 30, 2022.
Note: We are awaiting guidance from USDA and NYSED
regarding waiver extensions for this summer. Sponsors and
sites should not make changes to their operations without
further guidance and approval from NYSED.
โ€ข Meal pattern waivers through June 30, 2023.
โ€ข No-cost waivers through the 2022-2023 school year. Note: this
does not include waivers allowing free meals for all students.

โ€“ Increases school meal reimbursements by 40 cents per lunch and 15 cents per breakfast through the 2022-2023 school year.
โ€“ Extends Tier 1 reimbursement rates to all family child care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), through June 30, 2023.
โ€“ Increases CACFP reimbursements by 10 cents for each meal and snack for child care and afterschool providers through the 2022-2023 school year.

There is much more to be done to avert a child hunger crisis. The legislation does not extend flexibilities allowing school meals for all students at no [โ€ฆ]

New Report: Supermarket/Grocery Store Voucher Pilot Program

06/22/2022

A collaboration between the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center and Meals for Good, Inc.
Read the full report HERE.
Excerpt:
โ€œEast Harlem and the South Bronx in New York City have some of the highest rates of poverty and food insecurity in the country. The poverty rate in East Harlem is 34.0 percent and in the South Bronx it is 39.6 percent, compared to 16.0 percent Citywide. The rate of food insecurity in East Harlem is 22.4 percent and in the South Bronx it is 23.8 percent, compared to 12.9 percent Citywide. Poverty, along with lack of access to affordable housing and employment opportunities with fair wages and benefits, is closely associated with poor health and food insecurity. Furthermore, the
COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many of these issues, increasing food insecurity rates and putting many communities with already
high rates of poverty and diet-related disease at increased risk.
To combat the issue of poverty and food insecurity in East Harlem and the South Bronx, Meals For Good, Inc (MFG) developed a
supermarket-based food voucher and gift card program funded by the Robin Hood Foundation, a poverty-fighting charitable
organization based in New York MFG created vouchers and gift cards for buying foods at designated supermarkets (vouchers
in East Harlem), and any grocery store or bodega (gift cards in the South Bronx). MFG partnered with three community-based
organizations in East Harlem and one in the [โ€ฆ]

This month we celebrate both Juneteenth and Pride. Pride was a riot, started by our trans and disabled elders; A display of collective power against oppression. We also celebrate resistance through Juneteenth, a longstanding Black American holiday to uplift resilience and create space for Black joy, rest, and reflection. We hope that as you celebrate Pride and Juneteenth you consider ways to improve the material realities of QTBIPOC daily, outside of holidays and events.

Citywide students have recently started Learning the Land. With the guidance of co-facilitators, kale and Jess, students are encouraged to cultivate deeper, multidimensional connections with nature and place.
Walking through lower Manhattan, the groups was introduced to native plants and โ€œweeds,โ€ before visiting the African Burial Ground National Monument and learning of the intentional erasure of Black and Indigenous peoples and histories.
This course has provided a space to deep dive into the plants and people that were (and sometimes are still) here, asking of the students, โ€œWhat is your responsibility to the land and its beings- both seen and unseen? How do you really understand where you are?โ€

Share Your Ideas and Stories to Inform a National Strategy to End Hunger
This September, the White House will convene a conference focused on ending hunger in America, more than 50 years after the first conference of its kind. The inaugural White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health, held in 1969, was a landmark event leading to major expansions of SNAP and school meals, and the creation of WIC. This yearโ€™s conference is a critical opportunity to build on those successes, incorporating what we have learned in the decades since and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To inform a national strategy to end hunger, the White House is gathering policy recommendations and stories from a wide range of stakeholders, including advocates, program operators and administrators, and people with lived experience of food insecurity. We encourage New Yorkers to share their ideas and stories through the following opportunities:
