The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has cut $1.3 million from Campaign Against Hunger, one of the city's largest anti-hunger nonprofits.

Tamara Dawson, the company's chief operating officer, told News 12 they're making cuts wherever they can.

"It's just very heart wrenching. It's hurtful. I've had to buy things that I usually don't buy because it's a less cost," said Dawson.

Campaign Against Hunger has been serving about 13,000 New Yorkers each week. The organization is nearly 30 years old, but its future is at stake if they can't find adequate funding to meet their clients' needs.

Dawson said 28% of their clients suffer from health disparities like diabetes and high blood pressure. The group tries to offer healthy options, but those tend to be more expensive. Dawson says shelves once filled with quinoa and cous cous are now empty, leaving behind only rice and pasta.

Similarly, spinach and kale are no longer available. Only a small amount of mixed greens and iceberg lettuce remains.

The company is also cutting back on the number of times people can visit the pantry. People were allowed to come once a week, now only once a month.

News 12 asked Giovanni Leconte, one of the pantry clients, what he would do without it, he replied: "It would be devastating. I'm not sure what I would do."

He said he visits the pantry weekly to feed his family of four. If he runs out of money to buy food, he said he may have to move to a cheaper home to keep his loved ones fed.

The nonprofit is calling on anyone for help, so they can continue to feed families and make sure no one goes to bed hungry.
