EnteroBiotix’s Post

Alex C and I come from similar worlds apart—the post-Soviet terrains of Russia and the now war-torn Donetsk region of Ukraine. Our childhoods were overshadowed by the pangs of food scarcity, a memory that now fuels our purpose at Zina's. I remember the lengths to which my parents went to provide for me amid widespread need. Their resilience inspired my vow when I joined Zina's over ten years ago, and ever since, we have chosen to annually contribute to the cause of helping end food insecurity. We have kept that promise, contributing annually. Now, as 2024 approaches, we're ready to broaden our impact and invite organizations aligned with our vision to join us. Our past is not just a story; it's our call to action. If your mission resonates with ours, or if you know a group that shares our passion for change, let's connect. Together, let's ensure our next steps leave a lasting footprint in the fight against hunger. #EndHungerNow #TogetherAgainstHunger

100 The number of protein servings provided by a $25 donation 4,500,000 Pounds of food provided since 2009 $0.00 Salaries paid to Board Members since inception HRN is making a difference! We have: Donated over 4.5 million pounds of chicken to more than 100 organizations across Chicagoland. Rescued tens of thousands of pounds of produce, day-old bakery goods and the like that would have ended up in landfills or composts. Distributed over 30,000 nutritionally designed meals and hundreds of personal care packs to needy students. Assisted hundreds of seniors to access food from local food pantries. Every Spring and Fall through our Poultry to Pantries Delivery Day we donate 120,000+ pounds (over 240,000 pounds per year) of nutritious protein to organizations in every corner of Chicagoland. Every dollar you donate helps us distribute 4 servings of protein for those who don't know where their next meal may be coming from. #fighthunger #hunger #Illinois #childhoodhunger #communityhunger #seniorhunger #foodbanks #food #hungerheroes #foodwaste #foodpantry #volunteering #foodInsecurity #hungerresourcenetwork

This past fall, the itec group volunteered at the Brantford Food Bank and discovered that donations often decline in the summer, likely due to the absence of festive holidays and busy summer schedules. Today, we returned to give back again, donating both our time and food. We sorted items by type and expiration date, achieving in three hours what would have taken their team three weeks! A reminder: the need for donations extends beyond peak holiday seasons like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Consider donating your time to help pack orders or sort items at your local food bank. Volunteers are crucial in keeping these services running for those in need. High-demand items include: - Peanut Butter - Oatmeal - Canned Fruit/Vegetables - Infant Formula - Pet Food - Cleaning Products - Toilet Paper - Feminine Hygiene Products - Shampoo & Deodorant - Toothpaste & Toothbrush For more information on how to get involved, check out this link or contact your local Food Bank. https://lnkd.in/gXXB8if9 Let’s support our community all year long!

Before working with SA Harvest I had no clue the degree to which food was being wasted in our country. I mean, in my household I’m quite a stickler for wasting food - my kids can attest to this 🥴 On average, 10 million tons of good food is dumped into landfills annually by farmers, retailers, manufacturers and so on. Food that didn’t make the quality grade, food that’s been over produced, etc. Good food going to waste. On average, 20 million people in SA go hungry every single day. 20 million people live below the food security line and most of them are kids and the elderly 🥹 On its own, these stats are profound, however, if the 10 tons of food can be rescued, it would exceed feeding those 20 million starving South Africans with 3 nutritious meals a day for more than a year 🤯 imagine that, and end to hunger in SA 🙌 I call on all my corporate mates to help organisations like SA Harvest not only this time by donating #bucketsofnutrition for #mandelamonth but to consider how you help them do this sustainably. To help restore the dignity of our people so that our kids may thrive and that we rebuild a nation where not a single South African will ever be hungry again. The goal is to end hunger in SA by 2030 - can you help to make this happen? Most of you corporates are focused on the UN SDG goals for 2030 - how about we bring it home and make it happen here ☺️ Visit the website to find out how you can get involved www.saharvest.org or reach out to me 😉 We need all hands on deck for this one 🙏 #saharvest #bucketsofnutrition #mandelamonth #endhungerinsouthafrica #challengecorporates

Puppies make a difference! By incorporating a touch of puppy love in our emails, we’ve increased our positive reply rate by 50%. For every email response we receive, regardless of its nature, we donate puppy food. Just last month, we donated 18,750 bowls of puppy food. Some clients hesitate to incorporate a charitable donation to puppies in their emails, thinking it might clash with their brand. But the data speaks for itself: people across all industries and management levels love puppies. This small touch catches attention and fosters a positive perception of the brand while feeding hungry pups! Imagine if replying to an email could help feed puppies. Would you read and respond to that email? (Pictured: A response from a prospect who couldn’t resist the puppy P.S.)

Salvation Army’s 2024 State of the Nation Report indicates food support services nationwide have seen a 40% increase in demand. 40% 🤯 That's hard to read. There's so much need out there and we know everyday organisations like Fair Food NZ, Kura Kai, The Salvation Army and more are all trying their best to meet it. It's our dream to be able to meet that level of need so no one goes hungry. Our even bigger dream is that no one would go hungry in the first place. But for now, whether you're adding a small donation when you're shopping online at one of our partners, chucking an extra pack of toilet paper (one of the high-demand items at food banks) into the trolly for the food bank, or whatever small thing you can, let's try to help these charities together. Sometimes it can feel almost hopeless. But every small action makes a difference when we do it together.

It's getting hotter, and for many who are living on the streets, survival is a constant struggle. Inside our walls, we try our best to make AHCH a small haven of relief and provide simple pleasures such as hot coffee, sugar and creamer, and small snacks like cup-o-noodles, protein bars, chips, and popcorn. On outreach, there is an acute need for bottles of water, nutrient-dense bars, and electrolyte drinks. This is why we need your help to provide the basic resources that make AHCH a warm and welcoming place for people to come to. A few notes: We do NOT accept any food items if they are: -Perishable -Expired -Unsealed -Used/Leftover We DO accept food items ONLY IF they are: -Shelf Stable -Non-Expired -Individually Wrapped for Easy Distribution -Sealed/New If you would like to make a monetary donation instead, you can do so onine at: https://bit.ly/4ehmgQ7

This is a noble course.
