a grocery basket of food with a large receipt behind it

Herkimer County and the Food Insecurity Workgroup are conducting a survey to find out how Herkimer County residents are feeling about their ability to access food and would like your support in completing the survey.

Fill out the short, anonymous survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HCFoodSurvey2024   

As the cost of food has increased significantly recently, people are understandably having difficulty affording groceries for both themselves and their families, and the survey organizers are interested in hearing about people’s experiences first-hand.

The food insecurity/hunger survey will remain open through Friday, May 10.

You can also print out a PDF version of the survey and mail it in or drop it off to the county instead of completely the survey electronically. To download the survey PDF, click here. Completed paper copies can be mailed (to Gina Giacovelli, 301 N. Washington St., Suite 2300, Herkimer, NY 13350) or placed in the DSS drop box at the entrance to the new county building. Paper copies must be received by April 30 to allow time for the data to be manually tabulated.
