Over 200 food pantry leaders from across our city provided their expert input on how state policies can fight food insecurity among New Yorkers who are grappling with the high cost of living. In partnership with City Harvest and United Way of New York City, our city’s three largest anti-hunger organizations, we identified three ways that State policies can help create food secure futures: (1) Get more food to people who need it by investing in the emergency food system and expanding SNAP benefits and eligibility (2) Make childcare affordable to help alleviate a key factor in higher food insecurity rates for families (3) Improve housing stability to protect New Yorkers who are rent-burdened and 3X as likely to experience food insecurity We recently sent these policy priorities in a letter to Governor Hochul.
