The Science Writers in New York is hosting a virtual conversation with Avital Havusha, Vice President, Programs, New York Health Foundation (NYHealth), to discuss findings from an NYHealth report on food scarcity in New York State during the pandemic.
Using weekly survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the report examines food scarcity rates by race and ethnicity, age, and household income, and compares New York State with neighboring states. It shows rates of child food scarcity, continued racial disparities, and how New Yorkers are accessing free meals and groceries.
