KCTV reports (https://ow.ly/Z6Q550Q7tau) that food pantries in Kansas City are experiencing serious shortages, trying to keep up with the demand for food during the holiday season. City Union Mission, for instance, is running low on Thanksgiving food boxes and urgently needs food donations to serve more hungry households in Kansas City. Feeding America reports that approximately 1 in 10 Kansans and 1 in 9 Missourians are hungry. 😳 This is what keeps me going. How do we unify all the efforts to overcome the fragmentation and make getting food where it is needed super efficient? 1. Collective advocacy. 2. Education and business acumen. 3. Shared systems.

Every day for more than two decades Table to Table, New Jersey’s first food rescue organization, has picked up fresh, high quality and wholesome food that otherwise would be discarded and delivers it safely to agency partners, including soup kitchens, homeless shelters and senior facilities that serve nutritious meals to the hungry. We focus on efficiency and effectiveness, enabling us to feed the greatest number of people with the freshest, most nutritious food. Through our powerful collaboration with our agency partners, financial sponsors, food donors and volunteers, Table to Table has significantly moved the needle to feed hungry neighbors throughout Northern New Jersey. 40% of the United States’ food goes uneaten—that’s more than 220 pounds per person! By rescuing the excess food, we can provide countless meals for hungry children and families while preserving our environment. After all, the uneaten food ends up rotting in landfills, accounting for 16% of U.S. methane emissions. Join Us in Our Fight Against Hunger! You can help by becoming a volunteer OR liking and sharing our posts OR making a donation, becoming a sponsor or participating in our events.

At DC Greens, we work to coordinate resources, people, spaces, and coalitions in order to build a just and resilient food system. Nearly 11 percent of D.C. households face food insecurity. That’s why, for nearly four years, our Policy team advocated tirelessly for “Give SNAP a Raise”—which was partially funded in September of this year. It’s what drives the work behind our Produce Rx program, which reached more than 1,200 D.C. households in 2023. And it’s why our farm and community wellness space, The Well at Oxon Run, grew, harvested, and distributed more than two tons of produce this season. DC Greens believes healthy food is a human right, and we are proud to be a leader in the fight for food equity and food access. As you plan your year-end giving, we hope you’ll choose to generously support DC Greens. Together, we can build a just and resilient food system that serves all Washingtonians.

To learn a little more about our journey from Maine’s nutrient-rich ground to your plate, let’s dive into our evolution. Harvesting Good, born as a wholly owned subsidiary of Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine, emerged with a powerful mission to revolutionize the structure of a regional food system. All around us, families face the challenge of getting healthy meals on the table, local farmers fight to earn a living and rural communities are suffering from years of economic hardship. At the same time, supermarkets and food producers are becoming more efficient and wasting less food—food that used to get donated to food banks. Good Shepherd Food Bank recognized the need for a regional food system that would provide healthy food for all, establish an additional revenue stream for small and mid-size farmers, and give back to our communities without asking for donations. Learn more about how we strive to provide healthy meals, support local farmers, and build resilient communities. Visit www.harvestinggood.com #HarvestingGood

Food insecurity affects every community in the U.S. Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study is a powerful tool to understand local impact and take action. We can leverage this data to address factors impacting food insecurity and unite to ensure everyone has access to the food and resources we all need to thrive.  Many of us have experienced hunger or know someone who has.  When we listen to people facing hunger and use the study's findings, America can choose to end hunger. Whether it’s advocating for a strong farm bill or investing in our communities, it’s up to all of us to unite in our efforts to create a future where everyone has access to the nutritious food and resources we need to thrive.     Even when we disagree, we can all agree on ending hunger. Hunger is a challenge we can overcome together.  Join us on our #nutritionmission here at Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County by volunteering or donating so we can continue to provide nutritious food to our community. We are currently serving over 436,000 people per month on average, including 138,000 children and 86,000 seniors #wefeedOC #wefarmOC

What’s Cooking? 🍳 Ever wondered why we’re stirring up support for our pantry project? Here’s the tea: 🍲 Addressing Food Insecurity: Community pantries provide essential food items to individuals and families who are struggling with food insecurity. By donating, you’re directly contributing to alleviating hunger and ensuring that those in need have access to nutritious food. 🤝 Supporting Local Communities: Community pantries are often organized and operated by local volunteers who understand the specific needs of their community. By donating, you’re supporting these grassroots efforts and helping to strengthen the fabric of your local community. 💞 Promoting Solidarity and Mutual Aid: Community pantries operate on principles of solidarity and mutual aid, where those who have resources share them with those who are in need. Donating to a community pantry helps foster a sense of solidarity and compassion within society. 💪 Empowering Individuals: Access to food is a fundamental human right, and donating to a community pantry helps empower individuals and families to meet their basic needs with dignity. It allows people to regain a sense of control over their lives during challenging times. 🌟 Building Resilient Communities: By supporting community pantries, you’re contributing to the creation of more resilient communities. When people come together to support each other during times of need, they build networks of support and resilience that can withstand future challenges. #GMCFNY #CommunityPantry
