*Please share!* Feeling devastated by this inhumane administration. As if the gross cuts weren't enough, now 40+ million people are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits come November. Food insecurity was already rising. For those coping with food insecurity, this isn't much but here's a small list of free food opportunities across NYC. ❤️🍎
