Our company is proud to support Feeding America and its local and regional food bank partners year-round, but especially now because this is Hunger Action Month. Throughout September, we're coordinating team-building activities where our associates can volunteer to help their neighbors in need and contribute to a good cause. Here’s a terrific example… Mannington Commercial’s Brad Root (Sr. Vice President of Sales) and his wife Kathleen, recently volunteered with Tony Nixon and Avery Sciore (our two Commercial district Managers in Columbus, OH/Team Central Ohio) as “Opening Assistants” at the Mid-Ohio Market. This no-cost food market is part of the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, a Feeding America member. Its goal is to provide fresh, healthy free food to people struggling to make ends meet. As Brad, Kathleen, Tony, and Avery stocked product on shelves and in refrigerators, they put Mannington Mill’s “Care” Core Value into action. We hope everyone will join us in supporting their local food bank this month because every action -big or small- is one step closer to an America where no one is hungry. To find the local food bank nearest you, click on the link in the comments thread below. At Mannington Mills, we’re working together to care for our communities.

Always appreciate conversations and articles about Free Spirit books. These picture books are so important.
Food bank CEO and children's book author Erik Talkin of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County has published two more food justice books for kids, creating a trilogy that addresses food insecurity, healthy eating and local food systems. Schools are a target market, as are food banks that purchase them in bulk to give to donors or volunteers. https://lnkd.in/eGXB7KQa

🌱 Fighting the Stigma Around Food Insecurity: Sara's Story of Resilience 🌱 Did you know that one in six Americans is affected by food insecurity? At HelloFresh, we are committed to changing this statistic and ensuring fresh food is available and accessible to anyone in need. That's why we created LimeAid, a program designed to help individuals and families experiencing hardship or lack of food security. LimeAid allows neighbors, friends, or family members to nominate loved ones in need for a chance to win six months of free HelloFresh meals. One inspiring recipient of the LimeAid program is Sara Ariss, a Wisconsin native who unexpectedly faced food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, Sara shared her story on GMA3 to discuss the stigma around food insecurity and how her own struggles inspired her to give back to her community. Despite the challenges she faced, Sara innovated the operations of local food pantries to better serve families like hers. Join us in applauding Sara's resilience and ongoing commitment to fighting food insecurity. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

So many things to post about today! Check out this story. Everyday, I'm working to elevate the voices of our communities. Food cost is too high. More and more people, many of which are children, are being priced out of healthy meals. Food banks have less resources yet are expected to feed more people. You can help by sharing this post! Our #PAsenate and #PAhouse can help by strengthening #SFPP and #PASS in the #PAbudget. Our #USCongress can help by strengthening #TEFAP and #SNAP in the #FarmBill. #NWPAfoodbank ***The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Second Harvest Food Bank.

September is Hunger Action Month. One in four adults in the US experienced food insecurity in 2023, and that number has been going up over the past few years. But did you know that food security is more than just handing out meals? It’s actually eight different outcomes, ranging from a meal, to eating more healthfully, to improving the food distribution network. It’s critical that we get specific about which of those we’re solving for, so we can be realistic about what it takes and how much it costs. Learn how to get precise with your food security outcomes in our new white paper. Impact Genome #HungerActionMonth #philanthropy #socialimpact #foodsecurity #outcomes #hungerrelief

Food Justice Advocate | Food Pantry Consultant | Bringing justice and dignity to the fight to end hunger
Especially as the need for emergency food assistance rises this winter, it's easy for anti-hunger organizations to become consumed by the need for more food. To get more food we must often sort through donations that are spoiled, ruined, or unsafe to eat. It is a laborious process evaluating what is worth passing on to our clients and what is waste, and it can be too easy to focus on salvaging as much food as possible rather than prioritizing the quality distributed. If we are committed to building food pantries that implement food justice, it's time to break this habit.
Quality is Just as Important as Quantity in Food Pantries

As we wrap up Earth Month, take a moment to think about what happens to fresh, healthy food that doesn't get eaten following an event or other gathering. If you’re in Omaha and choosing where to eat this weekend or where to host an upcoming event, opt for a restaurant or food vendor that supports the work of Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue. Here’s why perishable food rescue is important: 🥦 Wasted Food: In the U.S, more than 30% of food available goes unsold or uneaten. While a very small portion of this is donated to those in need, the vast majority becomes “wasted food,” going straight to the landfill. 🥕 Food Insecurity: Food insecurity is about more than experiencing hunger. People often lack access to healthy foods, such as produce, meat, fresh milk and eggs – the exact types of food that make up most of the wasted food. 🌎 The Environment: Wasted food is bad for our environment. Not only is wasted food a drain on natural and economic resources, wasted food in the landfill creates harmful greenhouse gases adding to global climate change. I’m so proud to serve on the board of Saving Grace, Omaha’s only dedicated perishable food rescue service in our community that connects local food vendors to organizations that serve people in Omaha experiencing food insecurity. Check out the full list of our food vendor partners here: https://lnkd.in/g3R3wec8 Shout out to the awesome staff and my fellow board members for their dedication to the cause!
