THE MISSION
AccessConnectNY connects New Yorkers to free, trusted neighborhood support—making it easier to find help when it matters most. From food access and maternal and infant health to healthcare navigation, youth programs, and career pathways, we bring essential resources together in one place so individuals and families can move forward with clarity and confidence.
THE VISION
We envision a New York City where every individual and family can easily access the support they need to thrive—without confusion, stigma, or unnecessary barriers. AccessConnectNY aims to build a more connected, equitable system of care where community resources are not only available, but truly accessible, understandable, and responsive to the people they serve.
Our Values
We believe all communities deserve not just access to food, but control over how food is sourced, shared, and sustained. We uplift resources that respect cultural needs, promote dignity, and support long-term food security.
We recognize the power of communities supporting one another. By highlighting grassroots efforts and local networks, we aim to strengthen systems of care that are built on trust, reciprocity, and solidarity.
Access should never depend on language, income, or prior knowledge. We are committed to making information clear, inclusive, and easy to navigate—so everyone can take the next step with confidence.
