For families struggling to make ends meet, enrolling in SNAP and WIC can mean the difference between putting food on the table or going hungry. Thanks to your support, Hunger Free America has helped more than 8,700 families gain access to these vital programs since 2023. With your help, we can reach even more families this fall.

Ending Hunger Lifts Us All
About us
HUNGER FREE AMERICA (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) is a national nonprofit group building a nonpartisan, grass-roots membership movement to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food. Our long term goal is not just to ameliorate the problem, but to build the people’s movement necessary to enact the economic and public policies needed to end hunger entirely. U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said: "The work that NYCCAH does to fight against food insecurity is so important to our communities, and I am proud to have partnered with them over the years to help protect vital food benefits and ensure families at risk have access to food. Hunger Free America will continue NYCCAH's legacy by pushing for innovative, effective ways to end hunger, like the new hunger volunteer website and the hunger hotline. I look forward to working with Hunger Free America to help families in New York and across the country put food on the table." Congressman Jim McGovern, co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Hunger Caucus said: “Every day across this country, millions of America families struggle to put food on the table. The only way we can change this is by building strong coalitions of national, state, and local leaders to stand up for these families and I know that Hunger Free America will be a powerful part of that work. I've had the pleasure of working with NYCCAH over the years and I have no doubt Hunger Free America will continue their passionate work to give a voice to families in need and end hunger across this county. I look forward to working with Hunger Free America."

This past summer, more than 900,000 children were issued Summer EBT benefits to assist in purchasing groceries when school is out. As of September 14th, only 60% of those benefits were redeemed, but there is still time get that number up. Recipients have 122 days from the day their benefits were issues to use them, which means you have until at least November 29th to use your cards. If you have any questions about Summer EBT, or about how to redeem your benefits, you can call Hunger Free NYC: 646-355-1475
