We are in a hunger crisis and New Yorkers are experiencing food insecurity at a strikingly disproportionate rate.

08/09/2023

The pandemic caused a drastic increase in food insecurity and the numbers have been getting worse as government support wanes. Since July of 2021, NYS has seen an 87% increase in the number of people without enough to eat over a 1-week period compared to 35% nationwide.

Support frontline community food providers as they work to meet the increasing need.

We are hearing more and more stories from individuals with full-time jobs and from multi-income families who donโ€™t qualify for SNAP, and who are struggling. Whatโ€™s more, the end of the emergency pandemic SNAP allotment means that SNAP recipients are expected to receive about 33 percent less each month compared to last year.
