Bill S1471A/A4072, introduced by Senator Brad Hoylman and Assembly Member Richard Gottfried, requires hospitals in New York to make available upon request plant-based meals and snacks containing no animal products or by-products that are nutritionally equivalent to other menu items.

Happy Giving Tuesday! Today is the day your contributions will be matched so you can go twice as far helping build the community with our Food Share program. Please help if you can.
Vegan CNY Community Food Share is dedicated to getting healthy, vegan food to people who need it most.
We distribute hot lunch and other goods to individuals in Syracuse. Members serve up food like hot soup and good bread, along with fruit, granola, juice, and clothing items.

#vegancnyfoodshare #GivingTuesday
While the mission of the program is to share with the most vulnerable, it is not all about “charity.” Food Share is an opportunity to be in solidarity with those who are most often overlooked, who fall through the cracks in our system. We give out food and socks; in return, we get the opportunity to know our neighbors better, to hear music, engage in conversation, and share stories.
Tomorrow is the day. All donations will go to Vegan CNY’s Community Food Share Program. Please help if you can.
