Friend,
It all starts with the families we serve.
One such family is Maryann and Jason and their five young children. Due to the pandemic, Jason has been unable to find work and the family was struggling to afford their rent and groceries. Maryann — who recently gave birth — found out about Hunger Free NYC's services from a nurse at a prenatal appointment and reached out to our Benefits Specialist.
Maryann and Jason had previously always been hesitant to apply for SNAP and WIC due to their immigration status, but they took a leap of faith due to the extreme hardship they faced during Covid-19, and entrusted Hunger Free NYC with their application. Our Benefits Specialist helped the family complete the application process for SNAP, and they were approved for more than $900 in benefits each month. Maryann and three of her children were also approved for WIC benefits.
We are living through unprecedented times, and many people are struggling to find employment and to put food on the table. This holiday season is going to be difficult, which is why we need your help today. Can you contribute $10, $20, $30, or $50 today so we can help more families like Maryann and Jason?
