As New Yorkers gather this Thanksgiving, we reflect on the blessings of the past year and celebrate the spirit of giving. With the holiday season upon us, New York State is stepping up to help food banks and soup kitchens across the state stock their shelves and feed those in need. Earlier this week, the Governor announced $4.5 million in grants to help 2,600 emergency food providers throughout New York State provide 2.8 million meals. These state grants will help provide vital relief to 3.1 million New Yorkers impacted by the recent cuts to federal SNAP benefits. All New Yorkers are encouraged to join the states efforts by donating food or volunteering their time at local food banks and soup kitchens this holiday season.
