New York has launched the “No Student Goes Hungry” program. The program addresses food insecurity by expanding access to free breakfast for students in poverty. The program supports high poverty areas around the state to make breakfast accessible after the school day has begun.
Also, it is expected that 100 percent of all New York State public colleges will have a food pantry or stigma-free food access for students in need by the end of the fall semester. That would make New York the first state in the nation to have such a program. Currently, about 90 percent of SUNY and CUNY campuses offer these services as part of the “No Student Goes Hungry Program.”
