For 45 years, West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) has been serving some of New York’s most vulnerable people. WSCAH has evolved into one of New York's leading nonprofits fighting the battle against hunger in the city and beyond. Our podcast Hangry 4 Change explores the most urgent challenges facing the fight against hunger.

Episode 4 looks at the problems facing New Yorkers who rely on SNAP and the consequences for emergency food providers. Beset by a large backlog and system failures, New York City's Human Resources Agency (HRA) has come under criticism and legal challenge. This episode features Representative Jim McGovern, a leading voice for the hungry on Capitol Hill, reflecting on the politics of food insecurity in this election year.
