[CALL/EMAIL SCRIPT] Hello, my name is [NAME] and I am a constituent from [COUNTY NAME]. I am calling to urge that the Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) and Nourish New York each be funded at $75 million. These anti-hunger programs deliver nutritious food efficiently and reliably to communities across the state, and they must be strengthened to keep up with a growing demand for food. We ask [SENATOR/ASSEMBLYMEMBER NAME] to support increased funding for both of these programs to $75 million each. Thank you for taking my call.
