At CPNYC, a full plate means more than food, it means stability, care, and the wraparound support our scholars need to thrive. Nutritious meals fuel their bodies. Academic enrichment builds confidence. Mental health services help them navigate stress and loss. Together, these essentials open the door to hope and possibility.
As we close the year, your gift helps us keep the Promise of a Full Plate alive by:
Providing consistent meals and grocery support for families
Ensuring children have the energy and focus to learn and grow
Sustaining holistic services that nurture each child’s potential
Why Make This Promise
Since 2024, federal and state SNAP rollbacks have left families with less than half their monthly food budget.
CPNYC families are disproportionately affected, with 80% of parents or caregivers reporting increased grocery insecurity.
The average monthly grocery cost for a family of four has risen by 24% since 2022.
Caregiver's Challenging Choices
As SNAP reductions take effect, many of our families are facing empty shelves and difficult decisions between food, rent, and transportation. For parents already managing the emotional strain of family separation, these cuts deepen instability and worry.
Make Your Promise
Your gift helps us:
Provide weekly grocery stipends and pantry support to our families
Offer healthy meals and snacks to scholars across our afterschool and mental health programs
Deliver emergency food relief to families losing SNAP benefits
Keep the Promise
Every dollar helps us fill plates, eases stress and restores hope for families impacted by incarceration and food insecurity.
