Community Action House’s Post

For the last 14 years, Denny's has raised funds toward ending childhood hunger through the generosity of our guests, which has helped us provide $13.6 million to the nonprofit No Kid Hungry since 2011. It’s an amazing community effort and a need that we don’t take lightly – donations help remove barriers that prevent kids from getting the meals they need to succeed. But one company, alone, cannot solve this critical issue across our country; it takes collective action to drive change. That’s why I am honored to share that I have joined No Kid Hungry’s CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger. Alongside incredible leaders across industries like Darin Harris, Danny Meyer, Barry McGowan and Charles Watson, CFE, we are joining forces to help create a future where every child has access to three nutritious meals, 365 days a year. By joining this pledge, we commit to mobilize our brands by investing dollars, raising awareness, and using our platforms to help increase the number of children receiving summer meals from 2.8 million to 30 million nationwide. This pledge is a call to action to lead by example. I hope that you’ll consider joining me in this important cause to ensure a brighter future for tomorrow’s leaders. #NoKidHungry #Dennys

September is Hunger Action Month. While our mission to get every worker in America fed and ultimately, end hunger is year-round, we are calling for all hands on deck this month. According to Feeding America, 1 in 8 people in the United States face hunger. That's over 44 million Americans – including 9 million children – who don't always know where their next meal will come from. That’s a sobering statistic, and it's indicative of an issue that requires consistent, collective efforts to combat. So, how can you get involved? Here are a few ways: 🤝 Volunteer at a local food bank or soup kitchen – See if your friends or coworkers want to join! 🤝 Organize a food drive in your workplace or neighborhood 🤝 Donate to organizations that combat hunger – Consider setting up a monthly contribution, or work with mission-driven companies like Sharebite. 🤝 Advocate for your representatives to develop and support policies that address food insecurity 🤝 Share information about local food resources on your social channels An individual action might feel small, but every step we take tangibly improves the lives of people in our communities who need it most. Join us in the fight against food insecurity not only this month, but all year long. Together, we can alleviate hunger across America. #HungerActionMonth #GiveBack #Community

The rising costs of living paired with the expiration of some Pandemic benefits have intensified food insecurity across southwestern Pennsylvania as families work to meet basic needs. Calls to our PA 211 Southwest resource hotline has seen a 50% increase in food assistance inquiries over the past year. Between 2021 and 2022, the annual survival budget for a family of four in Pennsylvania rose to nearly $89,000 from $80,000. “This budget reflects only the basics and no extras,” says Jen Schuchart, director of meeting basic needs. “Folks who are working full-time or multiple jobs are having to make these difficult choices of whether to pay rent or feed themselves and their children. That’s 40% of our five-county region.” Read more to learn how United Way and local nonprofit organizations are working hand-in-hand to fight food insecurity in our community: https://lnkd.in/ez6myb4Y.
