"Many times I find myself having to set aside other basic needs my children have in order to prioritize buying food," Garcia said in Spanish.

City Harvest President Carlos Rodriguez stated, 'Today, Amazon is our largest local food donor, playing a significant role in our ability to provide food to New Yorkers in need.'

"There are people who have come here after escaping violence and persecution and torture. These are communities that we have historically said, 'You are welcome here. We have the support for you. We're going to help you get established in our country.' And now, the federal government is abandoning them."

The insights from this report help us think about potential gaps in the loss mitigation waterfall and the types of homeowners who may benefit from targeted support when they experience a crisis.

After worrying that he was somehow trying to scam me, I reluctantly sent him my address. A week later, the radiator arrived on my doorstop. A mate was able to help me install it and bingo the car worked again.

That 2025 NOFO that dropped in November was the precursor of what the future's gonna look like. I strongly believe that, for the majority of wild and crazy things in that NOFO, that is what's going to drop in July of 2026. If that happens, dozens of people in the region could fall back into homelessness.

EBT card theft is a huge, huge problem. In New York alone, in the first six months of last year, $14 million of SNAP benefits were stolen. We get these complaints all the time to our office.

We don't get to choose how other people make use of our gifts, especially strangers. Since you don't have a relationship with Ron beyond these very generous gifts, you're not in a position to safeguard him. He's not shared this part of his life with you, and you heard about the supposed scam from others, not from Ron himself.

Already, 2026 is proving to be a challenging year for global hunger. Last year, the global development sector faced enormous upheavals, with the United States and other donor countries slashing aid budgets even as low-income countries struggled with debt burdens. Steep aid cuts have exacerbated existing food security crises-whether from Russia's war with Ukraine disrupting international food supplies or farmers losing tens of billions of dollars due to climate change.

We started in 1985 with one woman who was delivering a bag of groceries to a man dying from AIDS. That one bag of groceries has evolved into 4,000,000 medically tailored meals each and every year.

On Sunday, Zoitas told Fortune, he was at the Knicks game and met some people from the predictions marketplace Kalshi, who offered to pay for an event where shoppers could receive $50 each in free groceries between noon and 3:00 pm. Fortune calculated that, if all 300 or so people in line spent this full allotment, it could cost Kalshi up to $150,000 in groceries.

Over the years, I've worked as a consultant on numerous federal grant projects from the US Department of Agriculture and elsewhere that focused on local economic development and were granted to nonprofits serving their communities. But since the 2024 elections, the focus of my work-and that of the small New Mexico-based consulting firm, Prospera Partners, that I lead-has shifted to help nonprofits develop strategies to sustain themselves despite federal cuts in funding and to programs that once supported their work.
