Having access to healthy food is directly linked to positive health outcomes. That's why our Florida Blue Foundation teams up with nonprofit organizations, like United Against Poverty Inc., to bring affordable, healthy food to under-resourced communities where people need it most. Read this article about how we're working together with United Against Poverty to bridge the gap in food deserts and communities in need. #FloridaBlue #CommunityPartners #Hunger #Poverty

Today we’re highlighting our sponsor, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. For over 30 years, they have provided food and other resources to people in need and have pursued areas of common interest for the benefit of people in need across the state. They represent the 12 Feeding America foodbanks and their 3,600 member hunger relief programs, serving Ohioans struggling with food security in all 88 counties. Since 2006, we have partnered to build the capacity of Ohio’s charitable hunger and poverty relief network. Last year, we had the opportunity to meet with our AmeriCorps VISTA members serving in central Ohio. From recruiting and managing volunteers, connecting communities with resources, like food and furniture, building programs, and creating sustainable solutions, our members stand with the Ohio Food Banks to address problems of poverty and inequity in local communities. Check out more in the video below and stay tuned as we share how organizations are disrupting the cycle of poverty! #PovertyAwarenessMonth #NationalPovertyAwarenessMonth #AmeriCorpsVISTA #AmeriCorps #Poverty #MakeADiffernce #Nonprofits #FoodBank #FoodSecurity 

Did you know that 17 million #OlderAdults face economic insecurity, and 14.2% live in poverty? With Americans living longer, too many are being left behind without the resources they need. Take Flora, for example. At 74, she relies on her #SocialSecurity check that doesn't go very far these days. With rising food prices, she struggled to afford nutritious meals while managing her diabetes. Thankfully, with the help of NCOA’s benefit counselors, Flora was enrolled in #SNAP. Now, she can buy healthy food and balance her budget—transforming her daily life! We’re on a mission to improve the lives of 40 million older adults by 2030, and we need your help! By supporting NCOA, you empower older adults like Flora, strengthen community organizations, and advocate for policies that support us all as we age. Together, we can create a future where everyone has the resources to #AgeWell. 💖 👉 Join us in building a better future! https://lnkd.in/eC3ffp2a

It's now a week since the King's Speech in Parliament, where the new Labour government outlined what they hope to achieve. The 40 new proposed bills covered a number of different topics, such as the building of new homes and infrastructure, the nationalisation of train services, creating an independent football regulator and banning the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 2009. Following the King’s Speech, the Government announced the establishment of a new child poverty taskforce. Secretaries of State from various government departments will participate in this initiative, with the inaugural meeting scheduled in the coming weeks. This is a real opportunity to enhance the wellbeing of children, and young people, and the NSPCC and wider Children's Charity Coalition welcome the introduction of a Children’s Wellbeing Bill but have expressed disappointment at the absence of a new Child Poverty Bill. #nspcc #childline Action for Children National Children's Bureau Barnardo's The Children's Society #poverty #kingsspeech #wellbeing #mentalhealth #childprotection #safeguarding #charity #thirdsector #campaign #coalition #childrenatthetable #politics #politicsuk #legislation #government The Labour Party Labour Party (UK) #labour #everychildhood

As the new school year approaches, it's important to acknowledge the significant challenges faced by children living in poverty. Nearly 40% children in Brent, London live in poverty, according to End Child Poverty, impacting their access to education, nutrition, and healthcare. Globally, 356 million children endure extreme poverty, drastically reducing their chances for a brighter future. At Patrice Bailey International, we believe that every child deserves an equal start, regardless of their family's financial situation. That’s why our Back-to-School Drive focuses on providing essential school supplies to children from low-income families, helping to bridge the gap and give them a fair chance to succeed. By supporting this initiative, you’re not just donating a backpack; you’re investing in a child's future. Let’s work together to make a difference and ensure that no child is left behind this school year. Below is the Back to School Initiative from last year. https://lnkd.in/gzBSJehQ
