Labor Feeds NY: A Week of Action Against Hunger
November 15-25, 2026
The rising cost of living is placing enormous strain on working families and individuals already struggling to make ends meet, from soaring gas prices and utility bills to rising healthcare and grocery costs. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying their bills. The Union Movement will not stand idly by while working people struggle.
Once again this year, we are stepping up, taking action, and committing ourselves to helping those who need it most for a statewide Week of Action. Labor Feeds New York: November 15th-25th, 2026.
During this week, local labor federations, central labor councils and union members are going to be encouraged to:
Feed – Donate non-perishable food to local pantries and school-based food programs.
Give – Contribute funds to hunger relief organizations making a difference in your community.
Serve – Volunteer at soup kitchens, food banks, and community meal sites.
Every act of solidarity, large or small, can help make a difference for families in need this fall.
