Not All Superheros Wear Capes, Some Wear Chef Hats and Apron<\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>

In March of 2020, No Kid Hungry New York joined New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Education Chancellor David Banks to honor staff members from the Office of Food and Nutrition Services (OFNS) as Hunger Heroes<\/a>. Since March 2020, this team has served more than 100 million meals to NYC students and community members. In October 2022, we were able to recognize Hunger Heroes like Valrie Baker<\/a>, who has been feeding kids in New York City Schools for over 25 years and takes immense pride in how her work impacts these students.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Advocating for New York Kids at the Federal Level<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

For the first time in over 50 years, the White House held a conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health in September 2022. This conference brought together key partners to produce a national strategy to end child hunger by 2030 and identified several key commitments that will play a critical role to achieve this ambitious goal. In addition to outlining how child hunger can be eliminated in New York<\/a>, No Kid Hungry New York nominated Jackie Bogart, the community empowerment coordinator with the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, to participate in the conference as part of a cohort of lived experts from across the country. To read more of Jackie’s reflections on the conference, check out our full blog<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

School in the Square Ensures Families Fill Their Pantry<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

This past Thanksgiving season, No Kid Hungry New York got to spend a few hours with School in the Square<\/a>! The team distributed nearly 4 tons of food to more than 200 families to help them get ready for Thanksgiving dinner in addition to receiving their produce and pantry staples. During 2022, rising inflation has put significant strain on family grocery budgets. Subsequently, it has further highlighted the impact that partnerships between schools and community organizations can make for families to ensure they have access to nutritious ingredients to fill the gap. This year, No Kid Hungry New York was thrilled to award a grant for School in the Square’s Friends of School in the Square program to fund a pantry that provides free groceries to students’ families in the Washington Heights and Inwood communities.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Learn how<\/a> Sue and her team increased participation in their district’s school breakfast program by sparking creativity and involving students.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
