105 members of the East Cobb Chapter gathered for their 2nd Annual Impact Day, benefiting The Sandwich Project. Former VP Philanthropy, Silke Shilling, led an eye-opening Roots of Hunger Activity to highlight food distribution inequalities. With support from Whole Foods, Publix Charities, and Costco Perimeter, our volunteers then went on to make 1,645 sandwiches, more than doubling last year's total. Wow! Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success! #NCLImpactDay #FightHunger #CommunityService #MotherDaughter #NCLPride #EastCobb

Did you know that instead of purchasing food at retail rates, we collaborate with the California Association of Food Banks, major retailers, USDA government assistance programs, growers, distributors and fellow food banks to secure wholesome food? When you contribute financially, you enable us to offer a greater quantity of nutritious groceries compared to donating store-bought food. 🥑 Thanks to our capacity to harness large-scale food donations, bulk purchasing capabilities, and the dedication of volunteers, every $1 donation empowers us to supply enough food for two meals. Help us fill tables this holiday season and beyond. If we can raise $1,000,000 from our community between now and December 25, The Benificus Foundation will match the amount. Double your impact: https://shfb.online/b9bd77

Now that we’ve reached the middle of April, I wanted to share a reminder about Walmart’s 11th annual “Fight Hunger, Spark Change” campaign, which continues through the end of the month. This campaign sees Walmart working alongside customers, members, and suppliers to benefit food banks in communities around the country – food insecurity is something many Americans face every day, and this program can help! There are three easy ways for customers and members to participate during the campaign: Purchase FHSC participating products in-store or online*: 1 item purchased at Walmart = 1 meal secured on behalf of a local Feeding America food bank 1 item purchased at Sam’s Club= 5 meals secured on behalf of a local Feeding America food bank. Donate at check-out in any Walmart store, Sam’s Club or when shopping on Walmart.com or the Walmart app and support the local Feeding America food bank. Donate online at https://lnkd.in/g7cEjb7k Please consider donating to a cause that makes such a difference for people in need across the U.S. #TeamWalmart #FightHungerSparkChange

Let them eat Cereal? For some of us, some of the time, this AI generated supper may look inviting but there is more to chew on here than a bowl of carbs. In all fairness to Kellogg Company and its CEO, we should acknowledge the fact that Kellogg does a lot to help fight hunger with food donations and employee volunteer efforts. But is that enough? What if every business that benefits from sales in communities in and around food insecure areas really chose to sponsor change? It wouldn’t take a huge amount of effort to support a local pantry or soup kitchen. Why not help our dedicated nonprofit organizations directly, eliminating the middle men? Much of the greatest impact is being provided by the smallest local community groups. That’s why we have revamped our operations to help underfunded and unfunded nonprofits get food to those who need it most. You can join us at Meals on Main Street in this effort by sponsoring our mobile pantry trucks and our mobile food hubs. Let’s have a real conversation about sponsorships for the organizations that are putting more on the table than cereal.

PACK Savannah is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides weekend food packs to over 4,600 food-insecure children in Savannah and the surrounding areas. They also have two smaller programs that support foster children and children in crisis. These videos will do a much better job of introducing PACK and Malena, its founder. https://lnkd.in/eijqB6jQ https://lnkd.in/ePbKwYkh https://lnkd.in/e3CvBnHp When we first met, Malena said to me, "[Our mutual friend] says you want to help us feed children. How do we start?" That was Monday, 2/5, and we have been busy since. PACK's biggest challenge has been sharp increases in food costs. Because her food pack is unique compared to what many food pantries typically provide to families, only about 10% of PACK's total food can be sourced from the local food bank. She's recently experienced high triple-digit cost increases in several food categories, so I have been arranging alternative suppliers to help reduce costs in line with previous levels. Today, we placed our first order for six pallets of juice boxes. This would have cost PACK $9,000 recently, but we were able to place this order for $5,040 shipped. We also identified a supplier for individual snacks (e.g., cookies, nutritional bars) at more than 50% estimated savings and no more precious time wasted making trips to local Sam's. These savings will go a long way toward stabilizing the organization's financial health. Unfortunately, PACK is critically under-capitalized at the moment due to recent price hikes, and it would take 2-3 months before our current cost-cutting efforts and fundraising initiatives get us on solid footing again. Please consider donating to PACK to allow us to continue our operations without interruption. $200 feeds a child for 52 weekends, but any amount of support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. https://lnkd.in/ek5QmmQb -> Click 'Donate Now'. #nonprofit #childhunger #foodsecurity

Transformative CEO at Zina's Salads Inc. | Innovator in Artisanal Food Production | Passionate Advocate for Quality and Sustainability | Believer in the Unifying Power of Food
Alex C and I come from similar worlds apart—the post-Soviet terrains of Russia and the now war-torn Donetsk region of Ukraine. Our childhoods were overshadowed by the pangs of food scarcity, a memory that now fuels our purpose at Zina's. I remember the lengths to which my parents went to provide for me amid widespread need. Their resilience inspired my vow when I joined Zina's over ten years ago, and ever since, we have chosen to annually contribute to the cause of helping end food insecurity. We have kept that promise, contributing annually. Now, as 2024 approaches, we're ready to broaden our impact and invite organizations aligned with our vision to join us. Our past is not just a story; it's our call to action. If your mission resonates with ours, or if you know a group that shares our passion for change, let's connect. Together, let's ensure our next steps leave a lasting footprint in the fight against hunger. #EndHungerNow #TogetherAgainstHunger
At Zina's, fighting food insecurity is personal. Many of our team members have witnessed its impact firsthand. In 2023, Zina's Fine Foods had the privilege of contributing to Table to Table remarkable effort to combat food insecurity. Our donation of 8,000 pounds of prepared foods and ingredients was part of a larger movement that provided meals to over 500,000 individuals. As we plan for an even greater impact next year, we invite your ideas and suggestions for future donations. #ZinasFineFoods #ZinasSalads #Zinas #ZinasCares #EndHunger #FoodDonation #MakeADifference #HelpingHands
