Through LFPA NYFNYF funds, farms like Here We Are Farms are helping supply fresh, local produce across New York State. From field to food banks, these partnerships bring nutritious food to neighbors while supporting our hardworking farmers. #LocalFood #FightingHunger #NYFNYF

Yesterday we said a heartfelt farewell to Dan Egan, whose leadership and dedication have left a lasting mark on our mission. Thanks to Dan’s vision and the strong foundation he built, we’re well-positioned to continue our important work without missing a beat.

Take a minute and listen to this incredible conversation about hunger with FNYS’s Dan Egan and @wamcradio.bsky.social ‘s David Guistina on The Capitol Connection. Listen here: www.wamc.org/show/the-cap...

Feeding New York State’s Dan Egan spent time with The Capitol Pressroom‘s David Lombardo to talk about the past 6 years leading FeedingNYS and the challenges ahead. Thank you to The Capitol Pressroom for this incredible discussion. 💚🧡 Full interview at capitolpressroom.org/2025/07/21/d...

Today, Feeding New York State released its statement on the budget reconciliation. Please read our statement linked below. We urge the public to demand that their members of Congress reverse course and repeal the many harmful provisions included in this bill. feedingnys.org/feeding-new-...

While kids look forward to summer, many families face higher food costs without school meals. Congress may vote tomorrow on a bill that worsens food insecurity in NY. Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your Rep to vote NO on the budget reconciliation bill. tinyurl.com/3h7jwetu

We believe in a country where everyone can thrive—no matter age, zip code, or income. That vision requires strong nutrition programs. Cutting #SNAP or school meals takes us backwards. Call your reps. Sign our petition. feedingnys.quorum.us/campaign/126... Tell them to #ProtectSNAP

For the cost of today’s military parade, food banks in America could have provided 7-10 million hungry people a healthy dinner.

Check out this article highlighting the impact of the CCC-TEFAP cancellations on our food banks. Huge thanks to The Democrat and Chronicle for covering this important issue. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2...

We estimate that the sudden and unexpected cancellation of TEFAP funding will deprive NY of about 16 million pounds of food or about 13 million meals. We are struggling to handle the fallout. It also impacts farmers, who have just lost $500M worth of sales. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/capital-...

The USDA's Local Food Purchase Assistance & Local Foods for Schools programs have been critical -supporting over 8K farmers & providing fresh food to schools & food banks. Despite bipartisan support, both were unexpectedly discontinued by the Trump administration. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/b...

The House Budget Resolution contains harmful cuts to programs such as SNAP($230B) and Medicaid($880B). This resolution will hurt the most vulnerable people in our country. www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

🥗 Never say that math is dry: numbers can break your heart. The House just passed a budget slashing $1 TRILLION from SNAP and Medicaid. This will cut deep and hurt badly if the Senate goes along with them. @povertylawyer.bsky.social salaambhatti.substack.com/p/breaking-h...

On the latest episode of Together with Feeding New York State, we were excited to be joined by @votejgr.bsky.social to discuss the state priorities she is leading to address hunger and food insecurity across New York. Listen at: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fee...

Food insecurity disproportionately affects communities of color, reflecting deep-rooted racial inequalities. This USDA infographic shows that from 2016 to 2021, 21% of Black households experienced food insecurity, vs. 8% of White households. #HungerAwareness #RacialEquity #FoodInsecurity #EndHunger

“A colossal act of self-mutilation where America is hurting itself” -Canadian PM Candidate Chrystia Freeland #canada www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/...

The U.S. imports more than 28% of its food from Canada and Mexico. A trade war will inevitably mean higher food prices which hits both sides of our work. The need for food assistance becomes greater, and food banks will need to pay more for the food they distribute. apnews.com/article/trum...

Episode 4 of the Together with Feeding New York State Podcast is available right now! On today’s episode, we’re joined by Joshua McGuire and Cooper Rohan, both of whom lead the Double Up Food Bucks Program (DUFB) at the Field & Fork Network. Podcast platform links 🔗 at linktr.ee/feedingnys

FNYS is monitoring this funding freeze closely. Approx. 1/3 of the food we distribute comes from TEFAP, a federal program that provides emergency food assistance. Freezing this program, even temporarily, will cause hardship to NYers & all Americans impacted by food insecurity. tinyurl.com/55udrsu9

We applaud Governor Kathy Hochul’s commitment to being a leader in fighting hunger in New York State. This announcement is a win for children, families and indeed every New Yorker. When our children are given the tools they need to succeed, we all do. Thank you! www.governor.ny.gov/news/univers...

FeedingNYS is proud to join @votejgr.bsky.social & more than 250 other statewide and local organizations asking @govkathyhochul.bsky.social to adequately fund hunger prevention programs in the FY 2026 budget. nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-pol...

Thanks to the Capitol Pressroom for having FeedingNYS', Ryan Healy and @rachelmayny on to discuss the state of hunger in NY. FeedingNYS & Senator May were part of a 250 member coalition asking @govkathyhochul to prioritize hunger relief in the FY 2026 budget capitolpressroom.org/2024/12/12/h...

Lucky to have Ribka Getachew and Taylor Pate from @FoodAdvocatesNY as guests on the "Together With Feeding New York State" podcast. Taylor and Ribka educate listeners about the Good Food Purchasing Program campaign. Head to feedingnys.org/podcasts to listen

Thanks to Spectrum News 1 Capital Region for covering this story. It is time for New York to lead the way on eradicating hunger and affirming healthy food as a basic human right. Groups want Hochul to include food, nutrition priorities in executive budget tinyurl.com/msv3eab3
