Summer break is here! ☀️ 😎 It's the season for families to enjoy themselves and create special memories, not to spend time worrying about where their children's next meal will come from.

You can help provide fresh ingredients to local families so they can share healthy meals together throughout the summer months.

Rural counties, like the ones that comprise most of our 16-county service area in Southeast Missouri have some of the highest rates of food insecurity across the country. Rural communities make up 63% of all U.S counties, but 87% of counties with the highest food insecurity rates. But working together, we can all join together to end hunger. Every action ― big or small ― is one step closer to an America where no one is hungry. This September, during #HungerActionMonth, join the movement to end hunger by volunteering, donating or advocating: https://buff.ly/2TEjNsT

Food shouldn’t be an impossible choice. For more than one million people in Massachusetts, a daily meal isn’t a choice between different dishes—it’s a choice between food and other crucial needs, like medicine, electricity, or childcare. You have a choice. Choose to help end hunger by donating, fundraising, volunteering—or any of the other ideas listed on this bingo card. Try to complete as many actions as possible this month to help end hunger and visit our Hunger Action Month page to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dCgiFaG #FeedingEasternMA #EndHungerHere #HungerActionMonth

The holidays are a time for most of us to reflect on our many blessings. But, for our food-insecure neighbors, this is a challenging and stressful time. Our friends at Loaves & Fishes help to ease this burden. During the last few months of renovating of their space, we have learned how efficient and effective their operation is. Loaves & Fishes serve between 450-500 households each week with free groceries. Last year, they distributed more than 1.8 million pounds of food to more than 67,00 pantry visitors -- almost 1/3 of those served were children! Can you support Loaves & Fishes with a donation or an afternoon spent volunteering? Learn more about their mission, work, and operating hours online: https://loom.ly/4MkzA8U

It’s #givingtuesday and there will be a lot of competition for your attention (and your dollars) today. At the Northampton Survival Center, we aren’t launching a fancy campaign or making a big end-of-year push for fundraising. Instead, I’m spontaneously writing to tell you this: hunger is an everyday issue and organizations like the Center have to raise funds year-round so that we can provide our neighbors with food year-round. As lovely as it is to have a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, it’s every bit as important to have a filling breakfast on Friday morning. Hunger doesn’t stop after the holiday rush is over. Kids need lunch on the weekends. Senior citizens need fresh produce at the end of the month when money is tight. Parents who have their kids every other week need to make sure there’s food in the house when the kids are. Hunger is still an issue on Tuesdays and in April and in your neighborhood and across the globe. We all eat. We all need healthy food. What does a client of a food pantry look like? They look like you. They’re young professionals and moms with young kids and working families and elderly widowers. They’re folks with mobility issues and perfectly working bodies and mental health challenges. Most are working. Some are unable to. They mostly live in homes and apartments. Sometimes they’re doubled up or couch surfing or living with friends. Sometimes they’re unhoused. Sometimes they drive expensive-looking cars. Sometimes they don’t have transportation. But if your first thought of someone using our services is of a dirty person living in a box, think again. We combat the stereotypes of homelessness and low-income lifestyles every day by providing our clients with nutritious food in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. This means allowing folks to choose the groceries they’ll eat, rather than providing them with a box of randomly packed groceries. It means making sure the food is good quality and within its date. It means giving out full-sized toiletries whenever possible. It means building relationships with the clients we serve so that we can help them to the best of our ability for as long as they need us. And that’s why, whether you choose to donate money, time, or goods to a nonprofit today, I hope you choose a cause you care about and think about how similar we (nonprofits and people alike) all really are. Donating to a nonprofit is an investment in your community—an investment that, of course, helps whatever population the nonprofit targets, but also helps you. I implore you to make good choices today and support the nonprofits that strengthen our community. If the Northampton Survival Center is on your list, you can make a gift online at https://lnkd.in/eTeeE_vk. And know that I (and our clients) will be incredibly grateful. #foodsecurity #neighborshelpingneighbors #fromtheheart

Central Bucks MobilePack Let’s do a quick walk down memory lane: 1. Central Bucks MobilePack had its beginnings in 2013. 2. Since 2013, we have packed 6,563,160 meals! 3. Since 2013, we’ve appreciated the support of 23,515 community volunteers! 3. Since 2013, we’ve raised approximately $1,663,290! Our community pays for the meals so the efforts of frontline NGO’s and missions, doing the hard work in the field, don’t incur that financial burden. 4. THE BIG AND BEST NUMBER: 17,981 kids have gotten a hot meal/day for an entire year! The need remains staggering and sadly steady. 6,200 kids die every day from starvation and malnutrition. EVERY DAY! Our effort makes a difference and provides HOPE for people all over the world. The food we’ve packed over the last 10 years has gone to 23 countries on 4 continents to people in their most desperate hour. And it’s all possible because you've cared enough to offer two hours of your time, have some fun and pack some meals. We hope you’ll join us again May 16-20 at beautiful Delaware Valley University in Doylestown. Registration to volunteer opens in early April. Your presence and your financial support means everything to us. The link below will enable you to support this event directly. With a goal of 1,000,000+ meals, we hope to raise $291,000 for this event. The attached picture is tough to see, but we need you to know what’s at stake and how real and urgent the need is in the world. We hope you’ll help us! https://lnkd.in/epuZXQnq
