(NEW YORK, NY \u2013 November 4, 2026)<\/b> This week, millions of New Yorkers cast their ballots in elections across the state.The following is a statement from Rachel Sabella, director of No Kid Hungry New York, on the election results:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis Election Day, New Yorkers took their concerns about affordability, rising food costs, and the hunger crisis straight to the polls. Across the state, families are still struggling to put food on the table, due to the high cost of groceries and federal cuts to food assistance like SNAP. They\u2019re being forced to <\/span>make painful trade-offs<\/span><\/a> between buying food and covering other bills, and about half of New Yorkers are going into debt simply to feed their families. In the year since the federal government enacted sweeping cuts to SNAP, an estimated 272,000 New Yorkers have lost these essential benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe results of the midterm elections, however, give us an opportunity to finally turn the page on this hunger crisis and start restoring the critical funding and programs that keep kids and families fed. New York has been a leader in the fight against hunger, and we need officials like Governor Hochul, Senate Leader Schumer, and House Leader Jeffries to continue prioritizing programs like SNAP to ensure that kids have the meals they need to thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe first step should be Congress immediately ensuring a delay to the federal SNAP benefit cost share requirements is included in any end-of-year legislation and preparing for the new Congress to fully restore SNAP by reversing last year\u2019s devastating cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNo Kid Hungry New York remains committed to getting kids the meals they need, keeping them fueled up for school, and keeping more families laughing around the dinner table. <\/span>We look forward to working with New York leaders to strengthen the programs that help feed kids and provide economic mobility for families<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
