State leaders are currently negotiating the details of the FY2027 New York State Budget. Amid rising rates of food insecurity and unprecedented federal cuts, New York State must protect families’ access to SNAP and WIC. Join Hunger Solutions New York and our partners as we advocate for anti-hunger investments in the upcoming FY2027 state budget, including:
- Sustaining New York’s statewide network of SNAP navigators by funding NOEP at $8.5M.
- Providing $30M in supplemental funds to better support local WIC agencies and boost participation among eligible families.
Get Involved:
- Organizations: Sign on to our letter to Governor Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Leader Stewart-Cousins, urging them to prioritize SNAP and WIC in upcoming budget negotiations. Read the letter and sign on here by Monday, March 23.
- Post on social media: Use our toolkit to spread the word about protecting New Yorkers’ access to SNAP and WIC!
- Share our email tool with your networks: Constituents can use our tool to email Governor Hochul, their representatives, and leaders in the New York State Legislature.
