April 1, 2016 – Some New Yorkers who live in Manhattan – on or below West 110th or East 96th Street – will be stripped of needed SNAP food dollars due to Federal rules that apply to Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (or ABAWDs). Get more details here.
Whether you are a client, charity organization or concerned New Yorker, Food Bank For New York City is here to provide resources and information for all those affected by this cut, which may result in the loss of over 26 million meals in just one year.
