A recent poll by No Kid Hungry New York reveals that 53% of New Yorkers have taken on debt in the past year due to rising food costs. This financial strain has adversely affected both mental and physical health for many residents. There is widespread public support for enhanced food assistance programs, as many oppose proposed budget cuts by Congress. The poll emphasizes the need for bipartisan solutions to assist struggling families in affording food, with a strong call for initiatives like SNAP and universal school meals.
"This should be a wake-up call to policymakers in Albany and Washington: New York families need help... we need bipartisan support for common-sense programs like SNAP."
"The poll found that 62% of New Yorkers oppose such cuts, with strong opposition in the Hudson Valley and Long Island."
