Extension of Partnership with HelloFresh for Veterans
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the extension of a partnership between the State of New York and leading meal kit company, HelloFresh, focused on delivering free meal kits to Veterans and military families in New York City who are presently confronting food insecurity. Since establishing this partnership in July 2020, HelloFresh has provided more than 200,000 nutritious meals to Veterans and military families in New York City who are facing food insecurity due to COVID-19. Now, New York and HelloFresh are extending this collaboration through the second quarter of 2021, ensuring that Veterans and military families in New York City will continue to receive these nourishing meals throughout the challenging months ahead. This partnership was made possible through collaboration with The Campaign Against Hunger, the New York City Department of Veterans' Services, and Black Veterans for Social Justice to provide this high-quality food in weekly distributions.
