Since the Citywide Program wrapped last November, weโ€™ve been hard at work re-imagining whatโ€™s possible for the next iteration of our cohort-centered programming. With faculty input, and with years of student feedback to reflect on, weโ€™re thinking through whatโ€™s needed to create an updated program that speaks to the current needs and interests of our community.

During this re-visioning pause, the first of its kind since FSNYCโ€™s 2010 launch, weโ€™re guided by questions like, โ€œHow has the urban agriculture field changed in the past decade? How do we ensure that we are preparing students to build a just food system? What content must be prioritized in the time we have together?โ€

Weโ€™re grateful for the excitement and questions and look forward to sharing updates as they emerge. For now, please register for our 2024 public offerings and continue staying up-to-date via our socials and newsletter.

Celebrate National CACFP Week March 10-16, 2024

03/12/2024
Itโ€™s National CACFP Week! Join Hunger Solutions New York in celebrating the childcare providers, afterschool programs, and schools that serve healthy meals and snacks to children in their care through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

Across New York, hundreds of thousands of children access nutritious meals through CACFP. Children in programs that serve meals through CACFP develop lifelong healthy eating habits and have improved nutrition security.

Reimbursement through CACFP can help offset the costs of food expenses for both child care providers and families. CACFP can help make childcare more affordable for families while also improving the quality of care. Thousands of childcare providers and afterschool programs already participate in CACFP, but many more are eligible but not enrolled.

Take action to help expand awareness of this important program:

Visitย ChildcareMealsNY.org orย AfterschoolMealsNY.org to learn about serving creditable meals through CACFP, how to apply, meal pattern requirements, and more.

Share Your CACFP Story

Sharing your experience with serving meals through CACFP can help raise awareness for families and providers about this crucial support for children, families, and providers. If you are currently participating in CACFP, please consider sharing your story using our online form.

Visit our website to see how we have used CACFP stories in the past to highlight providers who are nourishing kids with healthy meals and [โ€ฆ]

Hello (new) friends,

I hope at this moment you are sitting in your favorite spot, warm and cozy while you dream of Spring and warmer days. In the coming weeks, as Spring renewal becomes more evident, may you find yourself planning your garden or eager to taste the produce from for favorite local farm.

My name is Erin Cuseo and I am thrilled to be the new GardenShareโ€™s new Program Coordinator. Over the last 15 years I have managed small diversified farming operations in Washington State, Colorado, and Missouri. My focus has been on vegetables, but for the last 7 years I have co-operated a Water Buffalo meat and dairy operation. Over the years I have been actively involved in Farmers Markets, both as a vendor and as a board member. I am excited to finally set down roots in St. Lawrence County.

For me, the best part about being a farmer has always been the farmers market. The connection with the consumer, whether through education or excitement, has always been the highlight of farming. During my tenure as a farmer, I partnered directly with multiple nonprofits with the goal of addressing food insecurity and increasing food access at farmers markets.

As someone who has spent most of her adult life in agriculture, I am passionate about shopping locally and providing equitable [โ€ฆ]
