Hungry kids can't learn, and we stepped up alongside legislative champions like Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, Speaker Heastie, Senator Hinchey, Senator Mayer, and Assemblymember González-Rojas to fight for this funding. These efforts paid off, and now nearly 300,000 more students from high-poverty school districts will be guaranteed meals in school." "This is a victory that will improve the health, education, and well-being of our kids. We thank these legislators and Governor Hochul for their work, and we're going to build on this success next year and aim to expand funding that covers all schools and all kids in New York State." Statement from Senator Michelle Hinchey: "This year, we took an unprecedented stand on the urgent need to combat child hunger in New York, forming one of the strongest, most determined coalitions that built a movement resulting in the significant expansion of free school meals. Because of that, nearly 40,000 students in my district alone will have access to free breakfast and lunch, setting them up for success while saving families money each week in grocery costs. I'm proud of our incredible coalition of hunger advocates, parents, teachers, and students, and thankful to Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas for her partnership. We will continue to build on this transformative progress and fight for more support, resources, and solutions to deliver healthy meals for all New York students." Statement from Senator Shelley B. Mayer: "I am thrilled by the historic investment of $135 million to expand access to school meals for almost 300,000 new students across New York State. Every teacher and student knows how difficult it is for children to learn when they are hungry. This relief will bring improved academic performance, social and emotional development, and a more unified school environment while easing expenses for families." Statement from Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas: "I can't think of a cause more critical for the government to address than feeding hungry children. I commend the legislative leaders, including Speaker Heastie, for their inclusion of $135 million in our enacted state budget to expand school meals to more students and schools across our state. After we transition to a 25% community eligibility threshold (CEP) in New York, we will expand school meals to about 300,000 students across 950 schools in our state. I am grateful to all of the advocates, including Solving Hunger, and all of my colleagues who supported the Healthy School Meals for All NY campaign. While this allocation is not everything that we sought, this fight is far from over. I look forward to continuing to organize with advocates and my colleagues to achieve universal school meals for all our students." About Solving Hunger Solving Hunger runs coordinated anti-hunger campaigns in cities and states to pass legislation that expands nutrition programs. For this upcoming year, Solving Hunger will provide resources and funding to four organizations focused solely on enacting political and policy changes to bring healthy school meals for all (also known as Universal Free Meals) to their communities.
