Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to maximize participation in and support for federally funded nutrition assistance programs. Its focus includes SNAP, the School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program, Summer Food Service Program, WIC, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Its website also identifies Summer EBT among the programs it supports.
Hunger Solutions New York manages the Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP), which provides community-based outreach, education, and free, confidential one-on-one help for potentially eligible New Yorkers applying for SNAP. It also advocates for nutrition-assistance policies and legislation, develops policy recommendations, and consults with, trains, and provides resources to organizations, agencies, and individuals.
The organization’s 2025 grants went to New York recipients and included food banks, community organizations, and legal-service providers. For example, Food Bank of Central New York describes its mission as addressing hunger in its region through partnerships, education, advocacy, and food distribution. Queens Legal Services Corporation describes its mission as providing legal assistance to indigent people in noncriminal matters. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not Hunger Solutions New York’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, Hunger Solutions New York reported 49 grants totaling $5,998,158. Grant amounts ranged from $20,881 to $406,000, with a median of $111,590. The listed grants were to recipients in New York.

The filing lists each of these grants’ purpose as “subcontractor.”
The organization also publishes NOEP requests for proposals. A solicitation listed funding for 501(c)(3) community-based nongovernmental organizations to conduct SNAP outreach and application assistance and promote awareness of child nutrition programs. That solicitation named counties eligible for proposals and gave a proposal deadline of September 6, 2024.
