Mayor Adams Announces $15M in Emergency SNAP Funding for New Yorkers. Mayor Eric Adams has announced $15 million in emergency funding to help feed New Yorkers affected by the federal government shutdown.
Nearly 1.8 million NYC residents who rely on SNAP benefits were at risk of losing access to food this month — but the city is stepping up to ensure no one goes hungry.
This citywide emergency response will support food pantries, community kitchens, and outreach programs across all five boroughs, helping families, children, and older adults who depend on these vital resources.
“As a working-class mayor who grew up on government assistance, I will always fight for our most vulnerable,” said Mayor Adams.
