Today, on Senior Citizens Day, we emphasize the importance of access to nutritious food for older adults. SNAP helps more than 685,000 seniors in New York State stay healthy, but thousands more may be eligible. Visit FoodHelpNY.org to learn how a NOEP Coordinator can help you or someone you know get more food with SNAP.

About us
Hunger Solutions New York is a caring and informed voice for hungry New Yorkers. We believe no one should ever wonder where their next meal is coming from. We strive to maximize participation in, and the effectiveness of, federally funded nutrition assistance programs including: • The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) • The School Breakfast Program • The Summer Food Service Program • The Child and Adult Care Food Program Hunger Solutions New York works one-on-one with those who struggle to keep food on the table. We fund community-based organizations to provide education, support and application assistance through the Nutrition Outreach and Education Program and the SNAP Help LI Initiative. These programs connect New Yorkers to federally funded nutrition assistance programs. We consult with, train and provide resources to non-profit organizations, school districts and other agencies to help make their anti-hunger efforts more efficient and effective. Hunger Solutions New York advocates for policies and legislation to improve nutrition assistance programs at the state and federal level. Based on consultation with federal and state administering agencies, partner organizations and local providers, we develop public policy recommendations to help significantly reduce hunger in New York State.

Across the country, anti-hunger advocates are partnering with school districts to strengthen households' food security through SNAP outreach. By linking eligible families to SNAP benefits, schools combat food insecurity, while increasing students’ access to school breakfast, lunch, and Summer EBT. Connecting eligible students to SNAP streamlines meal application processes, reduces the administrative burdens of processing applications, and increases schools’ ability to implement the Community Eligibility Provision. On September 5, join a webinar with FRAC, Hunger Solutions New York, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, and Hunger Free Oklahoma to learn the benefits and potential of SNAP outreach in schools. https://lnkd.in/e9FQQBmC
