How Neighborhood Food NY started
Access to healthy meals should be treated as part of healthcare itself — not a luxury. That belief is why we built a neighborhood-rooted program under the Medicaid 1115 Waiver that delivers dignity, consistency, and nutrition to families who need it most.
We work with healthcare providers and community organizations to identify families who need nutritional support. Once you are approved, meals come straight to your home — no cooking, no grocery run, no extra cost.
Under this program we focus on daily nutritious meal delivery, support for vulnerable families, community-based care, and long-term wellness.
