In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, state lawmakers stepped up to connect hungry New Yorkers with NY-grown produce. Since 2020, the program has provided over 70 million pounds of healthy, nutritious food to hungry New Yorkers while generating $150M in direct benefits for over 4,000 producers across the state.
We applaud the work of Governor Hochul and state legislators to codify Nourish New York as a permanent program.
WE ASK STATE LEADERS to strengthen the program by investing $75M in the 2023-2024 New York State budget.
