Each year, Hunger Free NYC produces updated, comprehensiveNeighborhood Guides to Food & Assistancecontaining detailed information on free food access in all five boroughs.
Volunteers will assist HFA with contacting various food resources in NYC to gather crucial information for guides' users on how and where to access SNAP/Food Stamps, WIC, School and Summer Meals, senior meals, soup kitchens and food pantries, and farmer's markets that accept SNAP as payment. Each guide also contains a map showing the locations of these sites. All versions are available in printer-friendly versions and may be viewed as PDFs from the list that follows.

Description
HUNGER FREE AMERICA (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) is a national nonprofit group building a nonpartisan, grass-roots membership movement to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food.
Our long-term goal is not just to ameliorate the problem, but also to build the people’s movement necessary to enact the economic and public policies needed to end hunger entirely. Given that hunger drains our economy and tears at our moral and civic fabric, we know that eliminating it will boost the nation both economically and spiritually. Towards that end, we’ve adopted the motto: "Ending hunger lifts us all."
