"It's folks that we are walking next to on the sidewalk, playing next to in a park with our children, shopping next to in the same markets."

That's how Carlos Rodriguez, president of our partner food bank City Harvest in New York City, describes the neighbors experiencing food insecurity across his community. Not distant. Not different. Neighbors.

Carlos sees firsthand how rising costs are stretching household budgets, and how SNAP helps neighbors stay food secure while they keep working, caregiving, and moving toward their goals — whether that's finishing school or building a career.

"When people are fed and properly nourished, what limitations are there?" he says. "All barriers become second to just the ability to think through them and push through them."
Neighbors like the mother Carlos describes, who "is going to figure out that next solution" for her family, no matter what. That determination is the story behind SNAP and the work City Harvest does every day.

What has your experience been here in Florida?

We made it through the rain....many thanks to these volunteers for their willingness to brave the weather yesterday, and to smile while doing so!
Thanks also to our clients, who waited quite a while for the lightning to die down. It was a great day at the food bank. 😅
