Hunger in Westchester is local, widespread and deeply connected to public policy.
In a recent episode of the Business Council of Westchester’s Advocacy and Politics Unplugged, Feeding Westchester Advocacy Manager, Ciara Mulligan, discusses how changes to programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program affect neighbors, community partners and food banks.
She also shares how Feeding Westchester combines local data, neighbor stories and strong relationships with elected officials to advocate for practical solutions. The conversation highlights an important truth: effective advocacy is built before a crisis and strengthened through partnership.
