NEWS & EVENTS

Thank you to Governor Hochul for the ongoing commitment to supporting New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. We appreciate the Governor’s continued investment in our community food pantries and regional food banks, strengthened support for the Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP), and efforts to expand access to summer meals for children.

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.
