Kathy Goldman, NYC’s ‘most important food activist,’ dies at 92
By Andrew Silow-Carroll March 11, 2024
“...She was the single most important voice fighting hunger in New York for 50 years and the first to focus on food in schools, which resulted in literally thousands of kids actually eating the food as opposed to throwing it out,” Fran Barrett, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s interagency coordinator for nonprofit organizations, told the New York Times in an email.
...“It was a time when people lived in neighborhoods that they gave a damn about, with people that they gave a damn about,” Goldman told an interviewer in 2018. “Both my mother and father were big influences and activists in our community.”
