Hunger Action Month isn’t just a gimmick or marketing ploy, it is a time for serious reflection about how food insecurity affects our community and why we need to consider how even those of us who find ourselves comfortable now, could one day need the resources the Healthy New Albany Food Pantry provides. It’s important to recognize that anyone could need the Pantry resources at any time. Our Pantry is an invaluable resource, sustaining families and carrying them through hard times. Without it, our neighbors could find themselves in grave circumstances, even feeling like they have to leave their homes in order to survive. This is a circumstance we see all too often, especially among our seniors and those on a fixed income. Give today to help families across New Albany! Together, we can lift up those who are in need and make our community a wonderful place to live – regardless of economic status. https://lnkd.in/gJ2YwcW8

September is #HungerActionMonth. At The Healthy New Albany Food Pantry, we are confronted with the ways our community is experiencing and navigating food insecurity on a daily basis as we serve the New Albany-Plain Local School Districts in a number of ways. In 2023 alone, we helped: 💚372 families 💚1,310 individuals (40% kids, 10% seniors) 💚220,000 meals 💚25,4000 summer meals (breakfast & lunch) 💚Break boxes to almost 300 students Already in 2024 we have served nearly 100 new families. This is a community where you may not expect to have such need. With our booming local economy, growing infrastructure, and expanding school system, you might assume that our community is comfortable and sustained. But like anywhere, we have pockets of need as well. And thankfully, we have community members, like you, willing to learn, support, and aid in restoring the dignity of food in people's lives. Truly, no one knows when they may need the Pantry, and our resources are there for you in a moment of crisis. This month, we are asking that everyone pitch in whether that is through hosting a food drive at your business, volunteering with open shopping days or stocking and organizing, or giving directly to the Pantry so that we can make your dollars stretch even further. Thank you for your support! GIVE TODAY: https://bit.ly/3AJwbim
