According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 2 million New Yorkers struggle to put food on the table.
But we're not just talking about numbers. We're talking about people — children and families in our own neighborhoods. Our children are our future. But far too many go to sleep hungry at night.
Please join me in asking Governor Cuomo to make food security and the health of our children a top priority for the State of New York.
To Governor Andrew Cuomo:
We live in one of the wealthiest countries on earth, yet millions of New Yorkers struggle to put food on the table.
Believing we must do our part to provide a safety net for children and families living in poverty, I urge you to allocate more state resources to improve food distribution to Emergency Food Relief Organizations — food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens and emergency shelters.
