There are alarming increases in food insufficiency across New York State, surpassing early pandemic levels, according to a new analysis by the New York Health Foundation. More than 1 in 10 New Yorkers report not having enough food to eat in the last week. Hunger rates are even higher for Black and Hispanic New Yorkers.
While federal programs temporarily reduced food insufficiency, most have since ended, leaving many New Yorkers struggling to access enough food. As the federal landscape shifts, State programs and advocacy are more important than ever to ensure New Yorkers have access to the food they need to lead healthy lives.
Please join us for a webinar to discuss the recent findings on food insufficiency. Speakers will share perspectives on the federal landscape, State impacts related to food access, local food initiatives, and more.
