Rally For a Food Secure NYC!

CALLING ALL FOOD SECURITY ADVOCATES!

As New Yorkers face an affordable crisis and pandemic-era relief has expired, food insecure New Yorkers and our network of food pantries and soup kitchens are being asked to do more with less. Visits to the food assistance network have increased 80% since pre-pandemic levels, with nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity.

TAKE ACTION: Join Food Bank For New York City, City Harvest, United Way of NYC, The Roundtable and other food insecurity organizations in urging Mayor Adams and the NYC Council to fight for a food secure New York City!

Advocates, direct service providers and New Yorkers who support strengthening food security for all will rally on the steps of City Hall to call on the Mayor and City Council to support food security priorities in the next New York City Budget including increased support for food pantries and soup kitchens and expanded access to grocery benefits like SNAP.

We will provide signs, other materials like t-shirts, hand fans, and stickers with a QR code to the call to action form, but please bring your organization’s sign as well. Please do not bring any polls or sticks for signs, amplified sound, nor anything that is not allowed through metal detectors (which you have to pass through to enter the City Hall Steps Plaza).
