🌟 DICP Food Pantry: A Year of Impact in 2024! This year, the DICP Food Pantry continued to provide vital support to Denver’s communities, addressing food insecurity and helping families thrive. Through over 200 pantry days, we distributed an incredible 207,062 pounds of food, serving 15,290+ individuals across the city. Operating with a client-choice model, we prioritize fresh, nutritious options like fruits and vegetables to empower families to make choices that fit their needs. Thanks to partnerships with organizations like Food Bank of the Rockies and Parker Task Force, we’ve ensured that healthy food is accessible to those who need it most. 🎥 Watch the full impact in our Annual Report video: https://buff.ly/3zBBEHC 💛 Together, we’ve made a difference—one meal, one family, one community at a time.

Indigenous food leader Sean Sherman's nonprofit NATIFS announces major expansion with the purchase of Minneapolis' Seward Co-op Creamery building, Tribal Business News reports. The space will become NATIFS Wóyute Thipi ("food building" in Dakota), featuring the first Indigenous BBQ restaurant and programs to distribute traditional foods to schools and institutions. The expansion builds on NATIFS' mission to address health disparities in Native communities through access to traditional foods. #IndigenousFood #NativeAmerican #Minneapolis #FoodSovereignty

GlobalMedic launched the McAntony's Menu program nearly four years ago to address rising food insecurity, particularly in Toronto. As more people relied on food banks, the program helped increase the food supply by purchasing in bulk, ensuring efficient use of resources. Recently, volunteers from Local 416 helped out, recognizing the growing need and helping to give back to their communities.

Cannot stop thinking about the Detroit People's Food Co-op since I first learned about it. An except from the Facebook post that enlightened me: "What is a food coop? A food co-op is a grocery store that’s owned by its member/owners as opposed to a grocery store such as Kroger or Meijer which has corporate ownership or an independent grocery store owned by a family or individual. In a food co-op members have a role in shaping the store culture, operations, and product standards. Detroit People’s Food Co-op is democratically controlled by its member/owners. Each member/owner can only purchase one ownership share and has one vote. Although food co-ops, like all businesses, must have revenues that exceed operating costs if they are to be sustainable, food co-ops prioritize community well-being over making profits for member/owners." https://lnkd.in/e3epEDRi

Exciting news from the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank announcing their planned expansion, preparing them to double their capacity to meet growing demand in their area. Americans are reporting that they are less likely to donate food this year due to rising grocery costs and living expenses, while 65% of Food Banks are reporting higher demand for services, far exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Congrats on rising to meet the need in the Greater Peninsula region! #bringmoretothetable
