We know this is an uncertain time for many SNAP recipients in the East Harlem community. ❤️
To help, we’ve created this page filled with up-to-date information and resources to help you access food assistance and stay informed. It features information gathered by our partners at the East Harlem C.O.A.D. (Community Organizations Active in Disasters) as well as updated information from the State of New York.
