#FoodFactFriday: Did you know that over 106,000 of our South Dakota neighbors, including 1 in 6 children, are facing food insecurity? 😞 These aren't just numbers—they're members of our community. As we mark Hunger Action Month, it's time for all of us to TAKE ACTION. Together, we can end hunger in South Dakota. 💪🧡 Learn more about how you can TAKE ACTION at https://loom.ly/xajvyG8 #HungerActionMonth

I live in Arlington, Virginia. It’s a place that's rich in diversity, food, and greenery. It’s also affected by food insecurity, with more than 23,000 people (nearly 10% of the population) not having access to enough food for an active, healthy life. These are just some of the eye-opening facts released this week as part of Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap Study (https://lnkd.in/ep7JimvB) —an annual, comprehensive view of how food insecurity varies across the U.S. As the only national study to provide county-level estimates of food insecurity and food costs, this study is a powerful tool for all of us to use to better understand hunger in our communities. It shows that food insecurity exists in every county, parish and congressional district in this nation, but it isn’t experienced equally. Food insecurity levels vary across regions, influenced by factors like unemployment and poverty rates as well as policies and practices rooted in history that continue to hold people back today. I encourage you to learn about the impact of hunger in your community. Spark conversations around the systemic factors that drive food insecurity then join the movement to end hunger (https://lnkd.in/enR6y7VC). Help us create a future where we all have access to the food and resources we need to thrive. #EndHunger

🔔 ICYMI: 🧡 “September marks Hunger Action Month, and today, we also pay tribute to the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. 🇺🇸 Hunger is a year-round challenge, but this month and this day serve as a reminder to come together and make a difference. Millions of people across the country, including families and children, face food insecurity every day. After the September 11th attacks, David Paine and Jay Winuk—who lost his brother Glenn, a volunteer firefighter—sought to redefine this day by making it one of service. What started as a simple idea has grown into the largest day of service in America, with over 30 million people dedicating their time to help others each year. At Ridiculous Engineering, we’ve committed to service by raising awareness about hunger and supporting the millions of families facing food insecurity. Today, as we reflect on the significance of this movement, we encourage everyone to get involved. Together, we can fight hunger and foster a spirit of service and unity that extends beyond this day. 🌎🍽️ #HungerActionMonth #EndHunger #SocialImpact #RidiculousEngineering #FedsFeedFamilies https://lnkd.in/ez7VKk27

Heartfelt: Worth of your day. Everyone must try this! Consider packing a few extra food packets (5-20) from home or any hotel during breakfast or dinner time. Start finding hunger people on road side's. You will find 100s of people: Few hungry mentally retired people, Few homeless people, Few hungry travelers, Few in the huts, Few children's.. Expect nothing in return, not even gratitude. Witness their smiles, and you'll find the true worth of your day. #fooddistribution #foodpackets #ngo

Hunger Action Month: Keep Pushing Forward As we take action against hunger this month, we’re inspired by a favorite quote from Jay Hawkins, Director of Food Recovery Programs: “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison This Hunger Action Month, let’s remember that every effort counts. From rescuing food from retailers to advocating for policy change, every action brings us one step closer to ending hunger in New York State.
