BUFFALO, N.Y. — Over $900,000 in grants are being awarded to 45 schools and organizations across New York State to help address food insecurity.
According to No Kid Hungry, one in five kids face food insecurity, with summer being the hungriest time of the year for families in New York State. No Kid Hungry is awarding $984,000 in grants to help New York organizations further expand their programs to reach more children in the state.
