FOOD EMERGENCY – SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FOOD BANK

Millions of Americans are at risk! As of Saturday, November 1, 2025, the federal government has suspended payments to qualified individuals and families via the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program, SNAP (colloquially known as food stamps). Food banks and their partner agencies are overwhelmed. Our data on behalf of the Regional Food Bank and Feeding New York State confirm a 5-fold increase in inquiries over the last week. Please consider making an emergency donation today to your local food bank.
