HUNGER FREE AMERICA (formerly known as the NYC Coalition Against Hunger) is a nonpartisan, national nonprofit group working to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food. We are both a direct service and advocacy organization - with each component strengthening the other. As a direct service provider, we assist low-income families obtain aid from government programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - formerly called the Food Stamp program - and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program so that people struggling to pay their bills have access to nutritious food. We also connect families nationwide with private food resources. Because our staff works daily on the front lines of hunger, and because we empower low-income people to speak out on their own behalf, that makes us one of the nation's most effective advocates for improved economic and public policies.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has supported Hunger Free America (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) over the last 37 years. We are proud of the work that we do and are focusing more than ever on ensuring our financial sustainability so we can continue to help those struggling with hunger. We have historically always received a four-star rating by Charity Navigator, but in 2018, we faced a sharp decline in funding, which was factored into our most recent rating. In 2019, we greatly diversified our sources of funding, increased our revenue, and are confident in our ability to effectively carry out our services well into the future. The coronavirus pandemic has called on us to continue to assist the tens of millions of Americans who don’t know where their next meal is coming from. We hope you’ll join us.
