TVS Supply Chain Solutions North America’s Post

Rising food costs have made it challenging for people to feed themselves and as a result has stretched many charitable food organizations thin. Our goal with our newly named Food Security Campaign is to help these organizations nourish communities in need.

The recent findings from OzHarvest's Community Needs Survey echo what we've been witnessing firsthand here at Wayside Chapel. Like many other charities, we've experienced a massive surge in demand over the last six months. The survey found across charities, 30% of individuals were seeking help for the first time, including those from new demographics such as two-income households. Shockingly, 67% of charities cannot meet current demand—a 20% increase over the past year. This is a stark reminder that many in our community, from working families to pensioners, are struggling more than ever, with an estimated 30,000 people going without food each month. At Wayside, we love when the bright yellow trucks and vans from OzHarvest arrive at our doors, bringing the vital fresh food supplies that allow us to offer our visitors the dignity of choice in our bustling Community Cafes. We couldn’t do without their support and partnership. As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, it's crucial we don’t let our most vulnerable slip through the cracks.

#Omaha #CommunitySupport #OmahaNeedsUs #OmahaBusinesses #OmahaBusinessLeaders #OmahaNeeds Food insecurity rates are higher in some areas of Omaha, including northeast, southeast, and northwest Omaha, where rates can reach as high as 48.5%. Food insecurity is even more common among families with children. In Omaha, one in five children under the age of 18 goes to bed hungry every night. Heartland Kids Against Hunger is working to contribute to stocking shelves at multiple area food pantries such as Heart Ministry Center, Together Omaha, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and more. Omaha business and organization leaders can make a large and lasting impact in our communities and beyond by encouraging volunteering and giving. Without your help, many community members including children would be going without. Every dollar donated to Heartland Kids Against Hunger goes towards packing highly nutritious meals and is tax-deductable.

Did you know that 40% of all food in the U.S. is wasted? Meanwhile, millions of people face food insecurity every day. Hunger at Home is tackling this challenge by repurposing unused, good food to serve those in need. Since 2015, they’ve provided an incredible 15 million meals to the community. Here’s another eye-opener: just 25% of the billions of pounds of food wasted could solve food insecurity within our communities. Today, our San Jose Robert Half team had the honor of volunteering with Hunger at Home. Together, we packed nearly 500 meals! These meals will be shared immediately with the community at the PayPal Park distribution center in partnership with multiple nonprofits. Organizations like Sysco make this work possible by donating good, unused food to ensure it gets to those who need it most. While this is just one step in a larger fight against hunger, the experience was both humbling and inspiring. There’s still so much more work to be done. If you’re looking to donate, or volunteer, I highly recommend checking out this amazing organization. Every small act can make a big difference! #GivingBack #HungerRelief #CommunityImpact #VolunteerWork

In our 2023 Annual Report, we take a look at trends at FISH over the past few years, particularly comparing pre-pandemic numbers to today. What we are seeing is continued growth in need, as the high cost of living paired with fewer support resources adds more and more strain for families. One area in which we have seen considerable increases is the pounds of food we distribute each year. In 2023, FISH distributed 1,560,603 pounds of food, more than any other year in our history as an organization. Our marketplace could not run without the generous support of our community. We source food from four main sources: donations from our Broomfield grocery stores and restaurant partners, Community Food Share, in-kind donations from our neighbors (which includes food drives!), and purchased food made possible by our incredible donors and by grant funding. All of these support networks allow us to stock a variety of food and personal care items for our families so they can shop for what their families need.
