Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces plan to address student food insecurity - Jonathan Chau, Daily Orange

New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced a new plan to make sure food pantries are available at all State University of New York and City University of New York colleges in an effort to prevent student food insecurity. In his fifteenth proposal of the 2018 State of the State address earlier this month, Cuomo announced the “No Student Goes Hungry” program. His five-point plan aims to combat hunger for students from kindergarten to college. Other parts of his plan include banning “lunch shaming” statewide, requiring breakfast “after the bell,” expanding the Farm to School program and increasing school’s availability of farm-fresh, locally grown foods. http://dailyorange.com/2018/01/gov-andrew-cuomo-announces-plan-address-student-food-insecurity/
