This year, our FSD (Farm Share Distribution) Program is operating through DWDC's Nuevo Amancer support program. Nuevo Amancer is a comprehensive domestic violence (DV) program created to empower latinas who are intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors to regain control of their lives. Those who seek support from this program get farm fresh produce sourced in New York State (via ) at no cost through the FSD program. We at WHIN Food Council are so honored to be supporting these women and to continue a legacy of community support with the Dominican Women's Development Center.

A partir del 1 de marzo de 2026, los requisitos de elegibilidad para SNAP cambiarán drásticamente en el estado de Nueva York (excepto el condado de Saratoga) como resultado de la retención federal. SNAP ha enfrentado numerosos desafíos desde noviembre del año pasado, y estos cambios representan un ataque directo a la clase trabajadora y a los vecinos inmigrantes. Además, estos frecuentes cambios en SNAP hacen que la gente se pregunte: "¿Sigo siendo elegible? ¿Cómo puedo estar al tanto de esto?". Junto con esta publicación, haga clic en el enlace de nuestra biografía para obtener un documento con detalles más detallados sobre los requisitos de elegibilidad y los documentos que debe presentar para estar exento del estatus adultos sanos sin dependientes (ABAWD).

Starting, March 1 2026, SNAP eligibility requirements will drastically change in New York State (excluding Saratoga county)as a result of federal law changes. SNAP has faced so many challenges since November of last year, and these changes are a direct attack on working class and/or immigrant neighbors. Additionally, these frequent changes to SNAP leave people asking "Am I still eligable? how am i supposed to keep track of this?" Alongside this post, please click the link in our bio for a doc with more in depth details on eligibility requirements and documents you need to submit to be except from ABAWD status.
