Feeding NYS

Feeding New York State is the association of NYS Food Banks. We work together with our communities to address hunger.

Last week, the administration cut SNAP for nearly 700,000 people. New polling from @amprog shows it’s the exact opposite of what voters want to see, with 62% calling for an EXPANSION of the program instead. More here: https://t.co/8zHjzluV63

The new rule limiting SNAP will take food assistance away from many people in New York who are struggling to find and keep sufficient work hours.

So proud that @CityHarvest has been selected as one of the non-profits for @Aetna’s 2019 Voices of Health competition. Make sure to vote for them to enable them to feed 74K New Yorkers! #NYC https://t.co/RsxNhCB9Tn

Ava is a Summer Fellow at @CHAOhio! "I am from Appalachia, OH & have witnessed the effects of poverty firsthand. Everyone in my high school qualified for free & reduced lunch & breakfast. I was able to see the changes that food security can bring about." #SummerAssociateSpotlight

New York state, New York City, Connecticut, and Vermont just sued the federal government over the Trump administration’s cruel #PublicCharge regulation – joining more than a dozen other states already challenging the rule. #ProtectFamilies https://t.co/n9s02ZMZ8q

[California Food Banks™ @CAFoodBanks]

This would weaken the already insufficient protections for veterans, former foster youth, people who are re-entering and others with significant barriers to work. Hunger is a cruel punishment and does not improve anyone’s resume! Thank you for leading the fight against this.

🚫 The Trump admin.’s final #PublicCharge rule is 837 pages.

Our takeaway? The rule is nothing more than an attempt to create a hungrier, poorer, and *sicker* nation.

👦 👧 The administration’s proposed cut to SNAP is an attempt to take food away from children at home and in school--see how it works and why we need to oppose it: https://t.co/g3xHO05vlL #HandsOffSNAP

Who is feeding Westchester? Meet Mike, one of our hunger heroes! Mike is a member of a talented and very busy team of people who run our 30,000 square foot warehouse! Mike is a former navy guy who takes feeding his neighbors very seriously, but he always has a smile on his face.

We’re seeking a Student Assistant to join our Brooklyn Ag Development team this fall! The assistant will support the Fresh Connect Food Box Program, which works to increase access to local, fresh, and affordable produce in low income communities.

[Feeding NYS @FoodBankAssnNYS]

Great truck! A lot of hungry people will benefit.

[Feeding Westchester @FeedWestchester]

Thanks to the support of two generous donors we enhanced our fleet! Now we can feed more people and make sure we connect food going to waste with those who need it. What do you think of our new truck? #feedingwestchester #newwheels #endhunger

[Hunger Free America @HungerFreeUSA]

With the new Public Charge rule going into effect soon, many more families who rely on WIC (though not included in the rule) will choose to forgo this essential benefit in fear of repercussions for their immigration status: https://t.co/JhPWOXpo3p
