Updates from Hunger Solutions NY on Summer Meals and WIC: Waivers that were in place for several years during the pandemic are expiring at the end of June, which means fewer sites will be eligible to operate. Beginning in early July, there will be a list and map of site locations posted on SummerMealsNY.org. Libraries are encouraged to consider serving as a summer meal site or offering meals/snacks alongside summer programming or consider partnering with an established site to bring Summer Reading and Learning activities to kids and families. Libraries with questions about eligibility or participation should reach out to Krista Hesdorfer, krista.hesdorfer@hungersolutionsny.org. 

New York Library Association (NYLA) is hosting a webinar on how libraries can alleviate hunger amid COVID-19 with Hunger Solutions NY on June 22nd at 11:00 am. Even if you are unable to attend please still register for the event to receive follow-up resources.
