Nearly 30 employees from our Corporate Information Systems department recently volunteered with Franklin Farm in Cumberland, Rhode Island! Through this historic farm’s community garden, volunteers can help tend, weed, pick and box vegetables that will go to the Northern RI Food Pantry and help those facing food insecurity. #AmicaCommunity
Did you know that 1 in 8 people in #WNY experience food insecurity? #September is #HungerActionMonth - a time for all of us to take a stand against hunger in our communities. At FeedMore WNY, we rely on individual and corporate donors and volunteers to make our mission possible. From delivering meals to homebound neighbors, organizing a food or fund drive, or holding a Lunch & Learn at your office about food insecurity - there are no shortage of ways to get involved. Take action today at www.feedmorewny.org .
Asheville, NC update: for those who are eager to help and have not already, pause for a moment. Buncombe County is saturated with resources, volunteers, food, water right now. Please give our community time to distribute and organize. What we will need is support in 3-4 weeks once these supplies are depleted. Needs may also change at that point, and the media buzz about WNC might be quiet(er). That is when we will need your support to sustain the community and fuel rebuilding efforts. If you need to take action now, I recommend Manna Food Bank: a community lifeline that was already serving food insecurity needs across 16 counties in western NC (for the last 40 years!) Their primary warehouse was lost to flooding, and they are rebooting to meet the needs of our area. They are well connected across the region, managed to save their distribution trucks, and have the means to reach rural areas with most need: https://lnkd.in/enZn3RXF

CEO at Mobile Meals of Toledo Collaborator | Storyteller | Advocate #SupportSeniors #EndTheWait
Costs are rising rising. Mobile Meals of Toledo has experienced a 25% increase in food costs,transportation, and, labor. Even with that we haven’t passed cost on. What does that mean? Do the math we are eating into our reserves. Also government, contract funding, and insurers increases support has only gone up from 0% to 6% in 3 years. Help us find a sustainable path forward
Meal costs have gone up 30% for Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency, Inc. (SEICAA, Inc.)'s #MealsOnWheels program. They aren't alone. Rising costs for meals and gas are the top challenges our network faces as they continue delivering vital services to our aging neighbors.
