The Food Ed Coalition
The Food Ed Coalition is a diverse group of advocates, program leaders, school community members, and other stakeholders convened by the Tisch Food Center, working to support the most vulnerable communities in New York City.
Food Ed Coalition COVID-19 Response
The current public health crisis has highlighted the important role that schools play in students’ diets and made increasingly clear how dangerous diet-related diseases can be. Despite financial hurdles, Food Ed Coalition members continue to provide meals, deliver groceries, conduct outreach about available food assistance, and offer virtual food education sessions.
During COVID-19, the Food Ed Hub pivoted to support members’ efforts by:
- Promoting food benefit programs such as P-EBT and school meals
- Educating federal, state, and local policymakers about the need for increased food supports
- Creating tools to support digital food education
- Advocating for better emergency food access, permanent extension of universal school meals, and stronger policies protecting children from unhealthy digital food marketing
The Food Ed Coalition was formed in response to a need for a coordinated effort to increase access to resources and best practices for food and nutrition organizations in NYC. Read our full history here.
