​
DIRECT CONTRACTS FOR DIRECT IMPACT
Each program needs direct contracts with all types of emergency food relief programs
Why Direct Contracts?
The Hunger Prevention Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) has a 40-year history of contracting directly with many types of emergency food relief organizations.
Any increases in funding must include food pantries, food rescues, and soup kitchens, in addition to food banks to ensure equitable and effective distribution of these funds.
Our members are making a difference
This budget season our members have been advocating for increases to HPNAP, Nourish NY, and for direct contracts for direct impact
This year our members participated in the 33rd Annual People's State of the State, a rally that calls on New York State to take action on anti-hunger initiatives.
​
Many members also submitted testimony for the Joint Hearings on Agriculture, Health, and Higher Education.
​
Members are also advocating by reaching out to their local policymakers, participating in lobby days, and doing local efforts to push the needle on these efforts.
