The Daily Memphian’s Post

"More and more households are struggling to make ends meet, the cost of living is higher and the safety net is frankly too small." Our Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Jim Conwell, joined WBEZ Chicago to talk about our recently released joint Greater Chicagoland Hunger Report, the rising food insecurity rates in the region and the need for more resources and community support.

Help Us Fight Food Insecurity in Texas Did you know that nearly 4 million Texans struggle with food insecurity? That's about one in every eight residents, facing a daily challenge to find enough food for a healthy, active life. Our PB&J Days model shows how we can make a real impact together. If just 47,619 people contribute $20 each, we can make enough PB&J sandwiches to make a significant difference. This represents less than 1% of our state’s population coming together to fight food insecurity. One sandwich may seem small, but it can be the first step toward discussions to provide greater assistance and support for those in need. It all starts with a sandwich. Join us in making a difference. Together, we can solve this. To learn more about how you can start a PB&J Day in your area or support us directly in San Antonio, please go to our website, pbandjdays.com. #food #SpreadKindness #pbandjdays #MakeADifference #help #service #homeless #endhunger

Well done to Eat Wild and to Tops Day Nursery. Well researched and written piece in the Times here pointing out the cost to drivers and to agriculture of deer overpopulation in the UK. Only when the militant, anti hunting vegetarians and vegans realise the threat to UK agriculture and the implications of relying solely on imported foods will media such as the BBC and the other left wing media realise how important game hunting and personal choice is. As it is we have a multitude of famers having issues with poorly thought out laws and guidelines, DEFRA allows pollution of the waterways and their IT system is causing issues with subsidy payments to farmers. These same farmers have to cope with supermarkets failing to pay them a fair rate for their produce leaving the UK with millions of acres of grassland and farmland lost to carbon credit woodland and development since 2010 (see farming UK July 2022 or the Independent July 2020). Farmland enough to produce 250,000 tonnes of homegrown food per annum gone forever. Perhaps it is now time to support game shooting and famers alike before the UK becomes a concrete metropolis incapable of sustaining any meaningful home grown produce? Well BBC News The Labour Party will you support UK sustainably and sensible game hunting?

Did you know that the Helping Hands Solutions Team does street outreach to connect with unhoused individuals in the area? One of the tools staff use are Street Outreach bags that consist of non-food life essentials (hygiene products, etc.) and no-cook, high calorie foods to support the health of these individuals who live with food insecurity every day. Our supply of food for these Street Outreach bags is running low and you can help by purchasing something off our Amazon food wish list (and designating it for "outreach") or dropping off food like what is listed below to the warehouse (and informing staff it's for "outreach"): -Liquid IV packs -Meat sticks -Crackers -Nuts -Tuna, chicken, sardines, etc. -Granola bars See the Amazon wish list here: https://ow.ly/SwMt50SFFTe .
