New York City’s emergency food infrastructure is under immense strain as federal, state, and city support rapidly erodes. The burden is shifting to communities, nonprofits, and volunteers who are already stretched thin. The urgency to act has never been greater.

We're pleased to share WSCAH's CEO & Executive Director Greg Silverman's interview on NY1, in response to the passage of the FY2026 budget reconciliation bill, and its impact on New Yorkers who rely on SNAP and Medicaid benefits.

This year, WSCAH staff and board sat down in the StoryCore recording booth to share stories from their many years of work in the fight against hunger. Hear from WSCAH Director of Partnerships and Community Engagement, Stephanie Moshier, Senior Benefits Access Specialist, Delilah Guzman, CEO & Executive Director Greg Silverman, and Board Director and longtime customer and volunteer, Martina Santos.

WSCAH CEO & Executive Director Greg Silverman and WSCAH Board Director Martina Santos in conversation with the amazing hosts of Good Day New York, Tashanae Whitlow and Dan Bowens, highlighting WSCAH's work in the fight against food insecurity in NYC.

Thanks to our collective advocacy efforts across the emergency feeding network, funding for the Community Food Connection Program (CFC) will no longer be cut in half under the budget deal reached by NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the city council a few weeks ago. The $112 billion budget for this fiscal year will maintain full funding of CFC at roughly $57 million for the program, that supports 500 emergency food providers across the city. This will ensure that the more than one million New Yorkers facing food insecurity can continue to feed themselves and their families.
