Thank you MassMutual for helping us serve our community! On Tuesday, we were thrilled to have employees from MassMutual volunteer at the UWPV Food Pantry today, helping with everything from stuffing bags of food to distributing them to our clients. Partnering with MassMutual allows the United Way to distribute weekly food to members of our local community. When we work together, we can all make a meaningful difference in the lives of others! . . . . #UWPV #MassMutual #VolunteerConnect #UnitedWay #volunteerism #volunteer #teamwork #nonprofit #community

Right to foods for a better life and a better future The world's farmers produce enough food to feed more than the global population yet, hunger persists. Around 733 million people are facing hunger in the world due to repeated weather shocks, conflicts, economic downturns, inequality, and the pandemic. This impacts the poor and vulnerable most severely, many of whom are agricultural households, reflecting widening inequalities across and within countries. Food is the third most basic human need after air and water – everyone should have the right to adequate food. On October 16, join the United Way in commemorating the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. . . . . #uwpv #unitedway #worldfoodday #foodforall #endhunger #nonprofit #volunteer #community #together #donate #food #foodpantry
