Food Security
& Investing in
Small businesses
But beyond just great meals, places like these highlight the importance of food security and how we can support small businesses that serve our communities. Everyone deserves access to fresh, affordable food, and local establishments like these play a crucial role in keeping that possible.
As mayor, my team is committed to:
✅ Expanding food access programs – Strengthening SNAP, WIC, and community food distribution programs to ensure fresh, healthy options are available for all NYC families.
✅ Supporting small food businesses – Cutting red tape, providing grants for local grocers and restaurants, and ensuring immigrant-owned businesses have the resources to thrive.
✅ Investing in urban agriculture – Partnering with community gardens, rooftop farms, and hydroponic initiatives to bring local, fresh food to every borough.
✅ Strengthening school meal programs – Ensuring every NYC student receives nutritious, culturally relevant meals made with fresh, local ingredients.
