Behavioral Health & Hard to Place, Hard to Serve

Date: January 28, 2021

With regulations governing the safety and health of all students, those students with mental health challenges are sometimes very difficult to serve.

Community partners: For the 2.2 million people living in NYS households who struggle against hunger, COVID-19 presents unique challenges. As more schools, child care centers, and meal sites are impacted, additional families may lose access to the programs that improve their nutrition, health, and well-being. Hunger Solutions New York is working to provide updates on the operation of federal nutrition assistance programs that can help schools, community organizations, and families mitigate the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on the food security of low-income people.

We work to promote and maximize participation in key federal nutrition assistance programs.

As a statewide organization dedicated to alleviating hunger, our mission is more important than ever. Keep updated on developments.
