Thanks to the efforts of State Senator Roxanne Persaud and Assemblywoman Karines Reyes, the bill\u2019s lead sponsors, SNAP recipients in New York who are disabled, senior or homeless will now be able to use their benefits in participating restaurants. SNAP serves as a lifeline for many New Yorkers, and this legislation will help ensure those who may have trouble accessing kitchen facilities still have regular access to food. With the economic effects of COVID-19 continuing to be felt across the state, this law is a win-win for New York: it prevents hunger, while also supporting local business owners, restaurant workers and our economy.\u201d &#8211; Rachel Sabella, Director, No Kid Hungry New York<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more about the Restaurant Meals Program, please visit our blog post &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/state.nokidhungry.org\/new-york\/2021\/05\/25\/five-things-to-know-aboutthe-restaurant-meals-program-bill\/\">5 Things To Know About the Restaurant Meals Program<\/a>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STATEMENT: Governor Hochul Signs Restaurant Meals Program Into Law New York, NY: \u201cNo Kid Hungry New York applauds Governor Kathy Hochul for signing the Restaurant Meals Program bill into law&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11961","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-press-release"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
