As we celebrate Pride Month, we recognize that LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of hunger and poverty than non-LGBTQ+ people. SNAP can be a lifeline for people facing hunger, allowing them to purchase food at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other retailers. This month, please spread the word about the vital support SNAP can provide to LGBTQ+ individuals and families. If you or someone you know is experiencing hunger, the Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) can help. NOEP can tell you if you may be eligible for SNAP, help you apply, and work with you to resolve barriers. Visit FoodHelpNY.org to find a NOEP Coordinator near you. It is always free and confidential.
