With Thanksgiving around the corner, city food pantries say they do not have enough resources to help needy New Yorkers.

That's according to a new report by the Food Bank of New York City.

56 percent of emergency food providers reported food shortages in September.

The report also says New Yorkers lost $770 million in benefits.

This was after cuts were made to the nation's Food Stamps program, also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in 2013.

This comes as 77 percent of food pantries and soup kitchens reported that more New Yorkers are coming in for assistance.

The Food Bank of New York City made a plea to federal lawmakers Monday plea to keep funding intact when the next farm bill is approved.

The legislation funds federal health and food programs, including SNAP.

In its annual report released Monday, the Food Bank said the food assistance program helps about 1.7 million New Yorkers, and about 1 in 5 New Yorkers use soup kitchens and food pantries. 

Food bank officials say SNAP also generates nearly $3 billion in food purchases at local retailers.

"When you think about Food Stamps, so often people think about 'those people,'" said Margaret Purvis, the president and CEO of the Food Bank of New York City. "This data really shows, hello, at $3 billion coming into our state — a majority of that is in New York City; $1 billion of that is in Brooklyn — yeah, it tells us this is not a 'their' problem; a cut is an 'our' problem."
