Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP)
The Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) is a food and nutrition program of the New York State Department of Health. HPNAP, in partnership with food banks and emergency food relief organizations, is dedicated to improving the health and nutrition status of people in need of food assistance in New York State. The program accomplishes this by:
- Enhancing the accessibility and availability of safe and nutritious food and food-related resources
- Developing and providing comprehensive nutrition and health education programs
- Monitoring needs and issues related to food insecurity
- Empowering people to increase their independence from emergency food assistance programs
The Department of Health contracts with the Food Bank to provide grants to eligible food pantries, soup kitchens, and emergency shelters throughout our 23-county service area.
HPNAP funding consists of the Food Grant, Operations Support Project (OSP), sanitation supplies and nutrition information.

The Regional Food Bank's services to member agencies do not begin and end with food provision. Rather, our Member Services Department has made it a priority to provide workshops to strengthen the infrastructure and service base of our member agencies so they can more adequately meet the changing demands of people in need.
Workshops are held throughout the year in various locations throughout our service area to ensure each of our agencies has an opportunity to attend.
Since 1987, the Nutrition Consortium of NYS has administered the Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) under contract with the New York State Department of Health. The fundamental goal of NOEP is to increase the availability and utilization of federal nutrition assistance programs as a means to ensure better nutrition and reduce the incidence of hunger among low-income populations. In order to achieve this goal, the Nutrition Consortium subcontracts with community-based agencies to conduct outreach at the local level to promote fuller implementation and utilization of federal nutrition programs in underserved areas across the state.
As the nation's premier defense against hunger, food stamps have proven to be a benefit to both families and local businesses. They provide hunger relief for people with low incomes, and stimulate economic activity by bringing federal food stamp dollars into local communities.
