As the Eras Tour comes to an end, hear our founder (and self proclaimed #Swiftie), Jessica Merrell’s thoughts on The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s article about the impact Taylor Swift has had on food banks across the U.S.! "The article does a great job highlighting the pros and cons of celebrity attention around major issues, like food insecurity. ⏰TL;DR: Taylor Swift made "behind-the-scenes" donations at Eras Tour city stops across the U.S. While this helped to feed hundreds of thousands, food banks are using the spotlight to highlight the urgency around the fight against hunger. Here's a few of our key takeaways:  🎶PRO: Props to Taylor for bringing attention to food banks during her tour and using her platform for good! 📈CON: What's the real issue? Inflation + rising cost of living + federal Covid aid ending = food insecurity becoming an increasingly larger and more urgent issue, making it clear that we need long-term solutions to tackle food insecurity.  📣"Swift’s support has been meaningful, food bank operators say, especially in drawing attention to their crucial service for low- and mid-income people. But food banks, collectively, require billions of dollars in funding per year" - Kyle Waide, CEO of Atlanta Community Food Bank and chair of the National Council for Feeding America 🤯The annual funding shortfall between what is needed in food assistance and what is provided by the federal government is roughly $33 billion!!! (Source: Feeding America)  🍽Let’s keep up the momentum and collectively push to develop lasting solutions to food insecurity! https://lnkd.in/enS82438 #onedegreeimpact #foodbank #giveback
