Advocates: NYS needs to fully fund November SNAP benefits
New York advocates want Gov. Kathy Hochul to fully fund November SNAP benefits.

Hochul has put $106 million together in emergency funds for food assistance programs in the state.
State leaders must do more
said Carolyn Martinez-Class, co-executive director of the group Citizen Action of New York.
