Web. == History == Community leaders established the New York City Coalition Against Hunger in 1983 with the intention of coordinating the activities of the emergency food providers.〔"NPO Spotlight." Philanthropy News Digest. 27 Mar. 2007. Web. In 1986 NYCCAH persuaded the City of New York to start allocating funds to help support soup kitchens and food pantries. In 1994 Interfaith Voices Against Hunger, a project established by NYCCAH, helped create City programs to prevent evictions and publicize the Federal food stamp program. More recently, NYCCAH partnered with other city groups to form the NYC Alliance for Child Nutrition Reauthorization. The alliance lobbied Congress to reauthorize the Child Nutrition Act in order to maintain the School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, WIC, and CACFP for another 5 years. Furthermore, after the law was passed, it increased the federal reimbursement for free school lunches by 6 cents and the number of after-school meals to be distributed nationwide by 20 million.〔"Child Nutrition Bill Becomes Law: Obama Signs Today."
