Food insecurity in New York City has surged over 30% after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Feeding America, nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers – including one in four children – experience food insecurity. Visits to New York City food pantries and food kitchens are up almost 70% in 2022 compared to 2019. Learn more about hunger in NYC (and how you can help!) here.
