<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Before daylight in the cold morning air, nearly 100 people stood bundled in hats and coats, their empty carts parked outside an Upper Manhattan church pantry.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">A line had begun forming on the sidewalk outside the Church of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic church in the Inwood neighborhood, at least an hour before the pantry was scheduled to open Saturday.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">The group of people gathered, which included many older and middle-aged adults, came seeking canned goods and fresh produce like green onions, pears and cranberries, fearful that their refrigerators and cabinets could soon be empty as it <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/us/snap-food-stamps-aid.html">remained unclear</a> whether the food stamp program would continue to be funded.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">As the government shutdown passed the one-month mark and the Trump administration said it <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/us/politics/snap-food-stamps-trump.html">would make only partial payments</a> in November to sustain the program — known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP — roughly <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/us/politics/federal-judge-food-stamps.html">42 million people were at risk</a> of receiving food aid late and in reduced amounts, including nearly 1.8 million New York City residents.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Stepping in to be a lifeline for families felt like second nature for some churches in New York City.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">“We’ve always done this,” said Father George Sears, pastor of the Church of Good Shepherd, who was bagging food in the hallway with volunteers at 7 a.m. on Saturday, preparing to feed over 450 people.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Many religious institutions have continued to make it their mission to provide food and meals to those in need, even as membership and <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/decline-of-christianity-in-the-us-has-slowed-may-have-leveled-off/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">attendance at services have declined</a>. In many cases, more people line up for their pantries than sit in their pews.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Pantries have long filled the gap for people who don’t qualify for food stamps or whose benefits don’t stretch far enough. The threat of reductions or funding delays has put the programs under new strain.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Met Council, the <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://metcouncil.org/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">largest Jewish nonprofit organization</a> in the country, serves more than 200 locations across New York City, and last week, it saw a 17 percent increase in turnout and is preparing for a 40 percent boost this week, according to the organization’s chief executive, David G. Greenfield.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">In New York City, there are about 600 food pantries scattered across the five boroughs. Gilford Monrose, executive director of Faith-Based and Community Partnerships in the mayor’s office, said at least 90 percent of those pantries are run by either a religious organization or a nonprofit connected to a place of worship.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">“As pie is to America, I would say food pantry would be to churches,” Mr. Monrose said. “Especially houses of worship in low-income neighborhoods.”</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">In Inwood, Ama Kofi, 51, stepped in line at 7:45 a.m. with her two neighbors from the Bronx. Ms. Kofi said the church pantry, which is open weekly, eases her anxiety about putting food on the table for her husband and three children.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">“It doesn’t stress me because I know if I come here, I’ll get something,” she said.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">In the two years she has used the pantry, Ms. Kofi has seen a rise in the number of people who need food.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">“There are so many people that come here that don’t qualify for food stamps but they need it,” she said, holding her ticket, No. 219.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Paul Kwon, the food pantry coordinator, said the pantry, which collaborates with Cabrini Immigrant Services, helps more than 400 people each week.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">He said the government’s reluctance to sustain SNAP made him “furious.” The pantry he leads is trying to stay afloat after a $20,000 loss in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, after the Trump administration took back <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/nyregion/doge-migrant-hotel-shelters.html">$80 million</a> that New York received for migrants. The reduction has led the pantry to cut back, he said, and clients are noticing that “the bags aren’t as full.”</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Mr. Kwon said the pantry spent around $4,600 a week on food assistance, funded by donors and federal, state and local aid. With demand high, the pantry has relied more on community fund-raisers and food drives. As of this year around 35 percent of people who use their pantry are SNAP recipients.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Because of the growing need, his pantry will stay open for an extra hour from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. starting on Nov. 15.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">According to the <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://frac.org/blog/characteristics-report-by-usda-provides-insights-into-who-participates-in-snap" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Food Research and Action Center</a>, 39 percent of children, 20 percent of seniors and 10 percent of disabled people across the country depend on SNAP to put food on their tables each month.</p>
<p>Grocery prices have increased around <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SAF11" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">20 percent</a> since 2020, leaving people who may not have religious affiliations dependent on their neighborhood church pantry.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="css-jevhma e13ogyst0">Some who line up at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Inwood are elderly; many do not attend church services.</span><span class="css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90"><span class="kyt-mdd4r">Credit&#8230;</span><span aria-hidden="false">Marco Postigo Storel for The New York Times</span></span></p>

<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Alixa Cruz, 70, a retired office worker, walked with a cane from her public housing apartment to the pantry at St. Peter’s Chelsea, an Episcopal church. Ms. Cruz is not a member of St. Peter’s, but comes to find reasonable nutritious foods that would be outside her budget otherwise.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">In a year, she went from seeing the funds on her SNAP card drop from $300 to a bit under $190 a month, but said every little bit still counts.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">“SNAP helps me because you cannot live in the city,” Ms. Cruz said. “Everything is expensive.”</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">In the Bronx, Lowell Murray, 48, a former contractor, sat on a black stool he brought from home while waiting for the Throggs Neck Community Alliance’s food giveaway to start at the Church of St. Benedict, a Catholic church on Otis Avenue.</p>
<section class="meteredContent css-ar1ez3">
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-6">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Mr. Murray, who said he was not able to work for health reasons, said his neighborhood pantry was a resource for healthy food that could be “expensive” even with SNAP.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">Angela Torres, executive director of the Throggs Neck Community Alliance, said there was already an intense need for food aid in the Bronx, which has the highest percentage of <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2024/2024-01-03_food_insecurity.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">food insecurity</a> among city boroughs.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">The pantry serves roughly 450 people weekly, she said, and recipients are on edge. “It already wasn’t enough,” Ms. Torres said. “Without SNAP, they are desperate.”</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">In Inwood, Ethlyn Colbourne, 81, who is retired and relies on her children, said all she could do was wait to check her SNAP card for funds.</p>
<p class="css-ac37hb evys1bk0">“Maybe they will change their mind or something will happen,” Ms. Colbourne said, pushing her cart slowly. “I’m just waiting.”</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">New York, NY &amp; Worldwide —   POST PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION:</p>
<p>This year, one day of peace simply wasn’t enough, as declared unanimously by the UN, 193 Member Countries. Good News Corporation, Borough President of Manhattan, OMMM, AY Young and NYC Climate Week strengthened the message for the International Day of Peace.  As the world faces urgent calls for peace, connection, compassion, and climate consciousness, Peace Day 2025 Events unfolded across a global weekend of action and awareness.</p>
<ol>
<li>Friday, September 19, 2025 with a powerful Press/Photo Op at NYC City Hall www. <a href="https://pausetheworldforpeace.org/2025/10/03/international-day-of-peace-2025-press-release/">https://pausetheworldforpeace.org/2025/10/03/international-day-of-peace-2025-press-release/</a></li>
<li>Saturday, September 20<sup>th</sup>, in Times Square a Major Worldwide LIVE Clean Energy 7-Hour Concert drew millions of viewers live and in the audience  <a href="https://pausetheworldforpeace.org/2025/10/08/4-million-impressions-viewers-and-live-times-square-attendees-at-the-un-international-day-of-peace-2025-nyc-climate-week-kick-offs-september-19-20-21/">https://pausetheworldforpeace.org/2025/10/08/4-million-impressions-viewers-and-live-times-square-attendees-at-the-un-international-day-of-peace-2025-nyc-climate-week-kick-offs-september-19-20-21/</a> This post includes the Run of Show.</li>
<li>Sunday, September 21<sup>st</sup>, the Official UN declared International Day of Peace with an opportunity for the world community to PLANT A PEACE POLE at NOON in all 24 Time Zones and forever more, <a href="http://www.worldpeace/plantpeace.org">worldpeace/plantpeace.org</a> . McKinsey Co. states 2 Billion People are aware of Peace Day.</li>
</ol>
<p>The weekend begins with a citywide meditation and Moment of Silence at Noon EST, hosted at NYC City Hall with Mayor Eric Adams, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, and leadership across key departments — from youth, seniors, veterans, police, and education to community and faith-based services. Together, we’ll pause in collective stillness and activate a wave of intention to ripple across the globe.</p>
<p>This year’s message is clear: Peace is not passive. It lives in our choices, our communities, and our care for one another and the Earth. All armies, cities, schools, organizations, and individuals around the world were invited to join in through serious and straightforward, yet meaningful acts on September 21, 2025, at noon in their local time zone, as requested by the International Day of Peace from 193 Countries and Good News Corporation and our Partners.</p>
<ul>
<li>Cease Fire and Violence Everywhere, killing fields, schools, streets, homes…everywhere</li>
<li>Host your own moment of silence at noon in your local time zone on September 21, and honor the day&#8217;s request: Plant a Peace Pole. Participate in human peace signs, prayer, sound healing, community cleanups, or intergenerational kindness actions</li>
<li>Share messages of hope and love on social media going to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast">youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast</a>, All Peace Sites Promoting Peace. <strong>We are ONE</strong></li>

<p style="text-align: center;">Dear Friends,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It is a pleasure to join you at Pause the World for Peace and to celebrate the 2025</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">International Day of Peace.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In a world with so much discord and inhumanity, the International Day of Peace reminds us</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that no mater our diﬀerences, every person deserves to live free from violence and fear.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">By pausing the world for peace, we create space for reﬂection, healing, and dialogue that</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">can lead to lasting change. And peace is not merely the absence of conﬂict, but the</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">presence of justice. For over 20 years, this day has been a call to unite in building a more</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">compassionate and equitable world.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On behalf of the Borough of Manhattan, I hope that we can all work together to create a</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">more peaceful future.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mark Levine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Manhattan Borough President</p>

Dear Friends,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
It is a pleasure to join you at Pause the World for Peace and to celebrate the 2025<br />
International Day of Peace.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
In a world with so much discord and inhumanity, the International Day of Peace reminds us<br />
that no matter our differences, every person deserves to live free from violence and fear.<br />
By pausing the world for peace, we create space for reflection, healing, and dialogue that<br />
can lead to lasting change. And peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but the<br />
presence of justice. For over 20 years, this day has been a call to unite in building a more<br />
compassionate and equitable world.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
On behalf of the Borough of Manhattan, I hope that we can all work together to create a<br />
more peaceful future.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
Sincerely,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
Mark Levine<br />
Manhattan Borough President</p>
