Honorable Andrew Cuomo
Governor of New York State
Executive Chamber – State Capitol Building
Albany, New York 12224
Dear Governor Cuomo:
NOURISH NEW YORK initiative has been an effective and creative response to the impact of the pandemic on New Yorkers, providing a lifeline for food-insecure families (many newly-insecure because of job losses due to COVID-19) and for struggling farmers, the fishing community and food processors across the state.
We call on state leaders to allocate $50 million for fiscal year 2021-2022 to make NOURISH NEW YORK an ongoing program to respond to the need for hunger relief and survival of farms, fisheries, food processors in New York State.
Respectfully yours,
