FREE FOOD FINDER NY
How We Verify Information
Useful information is only useful when it is current.
Our verification standard
- Use official government, provider or program sources whenever possible.
- Record the source and the date checked.
- Separate confirmed facts from reported or unverified details.
- Call out important limitations, geography, deadlines and application requirements.
- Remove or correct listings when reliable evidence shows they are closed or inaccurate.
Why you should still call first
Food schedules, inventory, eligibility rules, staffing and enrollment periods can change without notice. The finder repeats a standing reminder to call before a first visit.
How we check information
We review every published program against its sources and record when it was checked. We also label limits, locations, deadlines and uncertainty so you can tell what to confirm before you go.
