Both panels stressed the importance of partnerships, the need for policy solutions from all levels of government, and why New Yorkers MUST come together to support the most vulnerable – all key strategies of the No Kid Hungry campaign. It was great to interact with so many elected officials, partner organizations and advocates at Caucus Weekend who share this belief in improving services for New Yorkers. Looking forward to finding more ways for <\/span>Share Our Strength<\/span><\/a> to support these critical efforts in New York!<\/span><\/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\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
