  • For Jorge and Melissa Pino, working together at Food Bank For New York City has always felt like a natural fit. Both children of immigrants with a passion for serving others, this dynamic duo has taken lessons learned from their civic-minded parents into the next generation by involving their own kids in the work they do at Food Bank. 🧡 During Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond, we remain committed to standing with the Hispanic community, delivering critical resources, and amplifying the voices of those we serve. ➡️Learn more: https://bit.ly/3YqnQcP #HispanicHeritageMonth #GiveBack

According to the Food Research & Action Committee, "children participating in school meals... are more likely to consume fruit, vegetables, and milk at breakfast and lunch". Let’s turn this week into a food adventure! Encourage your kids to explore something new on their plates today. 🧡 Learn more: https://bit.ly/405sBtA #NationalSchoolLunchWeek #NSLW24 #SchoolMeals4All

  • 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.
