The WHY behind why we do what we do!! WATCH THIS VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND THE SIMPLE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS IN COMMUNITY!

Here's a great way to double your impact on this #GivingTuesday!

Since 1983, Lunch Break has continually served the food-insecurity needs of its under-employed community members, never missing a meal service even in the midst of natural disasters, government shutdowns and the COVID-19 pandemic. As current state statistics point to an increase in the need for food services, Lunch Break is ready to meet the demand, but we need your support to sustain daily operations. More than 650,000 people in New Jersey face hunger every day and approximately 175,000 of them are children. In Monmouth and Ocean counties alone, 1 in 10 people are food insecure and 1 in 5 of those are children. The good news is that the hunger crisis can be solved by working together. Through continued donations, our community kitchen has provided 12 percent more meals and our pantry has increased grocery distribution by 27 percent since January 2022. To help us sustain our vital programs: https://lnkd.in/ecyY3AcP Thank you for your support. #helpfortodayhopefortomorrow

The St. Louis Area Foodbank is thankful for your support as we face additional challenges serving our community and building a stronger bi-state region. Despite historically low unemployment, food insecurity remains high due, in part, to current economic trends created by rising costs. • The amount of food we distributed is up 11%. • The cost of procuring food to ensure we are able to feed the need is up 144%. • Food donations are down 16%. • Food Drive donations are down 20%. • The number of food drives is up 47%. • Credit card fees (many of our financial donations are given via card) are up 195%. • Fuel costs for our delivery fleet are up 34%. • Leasing expenses for our delivery fleet are up 22%. Financial and food donations from corporate and individual donors can make a big difference. Learn how you can help at: stlfoodbank.org/give-help/ #FoodInsecurity #MakeADifference

Happy Giving Tuesday!! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this platform who has liked, shared, or commented on our posts– it has genuinely made a huge difference in our growth this year. As the founder of this organization, I've witnessed firsthand the staggering disparity between food excess and scarcity in our country. Nearly 40% of our food supply goes to waste, while simultaneously, 44 million Americans face the challenge of food insecurity. At Sharing Excess, we're dedicated to solving this paradox by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to communities in need. Our mission is not just about providing food; it's about revolutionizing food sharing to overcome the logistical barriers that often hinder food rescue and redistribution. I know you’re probably being bombarded with Giving Tuesday requests from many amazing organizations– but we need your support. I hope that our work stands out as being a highly impactful use of your donations today, as we are able to provide 160 meals for every $10 donated. Your contributions will enable us cover the costs of transportation and allow us to partner with grocery stores, wholesalers, and farmers, ensuring that perfectly good food reaches those who need it most, rather than ending up in landfills. Every donation up to $10,000 is matched today thanks to a generous donor. No worries at all if you can't donate, even sharing this post helps a ton. Much love and thank you all for your continued support and generosity.

Make their voices heard. In the UK, there are about 800,000 identified young carers and 1.7 million children in England with long-term health conditions face a heightened risk of mental health challenges, academic struggles, and missed educational opportunities. This can result in long-term social isolation, wellbeing issues and lack of opportunities in adulthood that affects the whole of society. So why are young people's needs overlooked, especially when they are vulnerable? Why are local youth zones, essential to ensure safe spaces for children and young people who don't have that at home or school, massively underfunded? Why do local authorities and schools fail to provide sufficient support and especially mental health support to children and young people living with challenging health conditions or difficult situations at home? Because we want answers and actions taken, Renaissance Foundation supports #ChildrenAtTheTable campaign. Sign the petition below.
