Hunger isn’t always visible—but it’s everywhere.
In Allegany County, it’s the child quietly depending on school meals…
The parent skipping dinner so their kids can eat…
The senior stretching a fixed income just to get by.

Across New York State, food insecurity is rising—especially in rural counties like ours.
According to the New York Health Foundation, 1 in 4 low-income New Yorkers struggled to access enough food in 2023—and that number continues to grow.

At ACCORD’s Food Pantry, we’re seeing the impact firsthand:
