Tackling Summer Hunger with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin 🌞 Summer should be a time for kids to play, explore, and enjoy the sunshine.

Here are three impactful ways you can help: 🍎 **Donate Food**: Non-perishable items like canned fruits, vegetables, and proteins are always in high demand. Check your pantry or organize a neighborhood food drive. 💵 **Donate Cash**: Every dollar donated helps provide meals to those in need. Even a small contribution can have a huge impact. 🤝 **Volunteer**: Join us for a volunteer session at one of our food banks. Whether you’re sorting donations or packing boxes, your time and effort make a big difference.

Tis' the season of giving! ASPIRE at C&W has committed to raise $5K for Feeding America as we want to close the gap on food insecurity. Due to the model minority myth, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are often overlooked for food insecurity. Based on the research Feeding America has conducted here in some quick stats on the gap ASPIRE is committed to helping close: - An estimated 6% of Asian Americans are food insecure. That's 1 in 17 people who identify as Asian American. - An estimated 17% of Pacific Islanders are food insecure. That's 1 in 6 people who identify as Pacific Islanders. Your dollar is even more powerful this season because for every dollar up to $5K, C&W has committed to match our efforts, so your $1 becomes $2! Please help us in reaching our goal, and if you are unable to donate, please repost because the further our reach, the more chances we have to give together. Andrew Fu Ricky Z.

Open Your Hearts, Share Your Hands ************************************** During this holidays season, let's not forget the warmth of giving that truly makes it special. This year, as we gather with loved ones and celebrate the season's blessings, let's also open our hearts and extend a helping hand to those less fortunate. Remember the families facing food insecurity, the children without presents under the tree, and the individuals struggling with homelessness and loneliness. In a nation as rich as ours, no one should have to face the holidays without basic necessities and a touch of Christmas magic. Here are some ways we can all make a difference: * Donate to local food banks and shelters: Every can of food, warm blanket, or toy donated can bring immense relief and joy to someone in need. * Volunteer your time: Soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and senior centers often rely on volunteers to provide meals, companionship, and holiday cheer. * Organize a toy drive: Spread the word in your community and gather new or gently used toys to brighten the holidays for underprivileged children. * Support local businesses: Many smaller businesses struggle during the holidays. Choose to shop local and support those who contribute to the vibrant tapestry of our communities. * Reach out to a lonely neighbor: A simple phone call, a plate of homemade cookies, or even just a friendly conversation can make a world of difference for someone who might be isolated during the holidays. Remember, even the smallest acts of kindness can have a ripple effect, creating a wave of hope and joy that extends far beyond the individual. Here are some additional resources to help you get involved: #FeedingAmerica: https://lnkd.in/e_xCcQg #SalvationArmy: https://lnkd.in/ers_bRH #HabitatforHumanity: https://www.habitat.org/ #ToysforTots: https://lnkd.in/dPMguPF #NationalAlliancetoEndHomelessness: https://lnkd.in/eMGtT63 Let's make this #holiday a season of shared #blessings and a testament to the #truespirit of the holidays!

Costs are rising rising. Mobile Meals of Toledo has experienced a 25% increase in food costs,transportation, and, labor. Even with that we haven’t passed cost on. What does that mean? Do the math we are eating into our reserves. Also government, contract funding, and insurers increases support has only gone up from 0% to 6% in 3 years. Help us find a sustainable path forward
Meal costs have gone up 30% for Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency, Inc. (SEICAA, Inc.)'s #MealsOnWheels program. They aren't alone. Rising costs for meals and gas are the top challenges our network faces as they continue delivering vital services to our aging neighbors.
Meals on Wheels Food Costs Have Gone Up

Food insecurity is a worldwide problem that manifests itself locally in all our communities. Over the past few years, Curcio Webb, LLC’s holiday donation has been made to Chef José Andrés World Central Kitchen program. The World Central Kitchen teams are first on the spot wherever hot meals and human kindness are needed. Karen McKeon volunteered for a ½ day volunteer shift Thursday, June 27th at Mercer Street Friends Food Bank. In 2021, Karen directed her Curcio Webb charitable donation to Mercer Street Friends. At the time she shared that “the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank channels 5.5 million pounds of food and groceries annually to a network of over 100 local food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, meal sites, schools, senior and disabled programs, and low-income housing sites. Our food distribution and hunger prevention programs reach over 60,000 people who face the pain and indignity of hunger.” Five point five MILLION pounds annually—how impressive is that? The day Karen volunteered at the Food Bank they needed help labeling bags for “SHUP” (their Send HUnger Packing program). SHUP is a "meal bag program that helps feed food insecure students over the weekend when they lack access to school meals." It distributes 10,000 bags a month to students in need throughout Mercer County, New Jersey. Karen, your in-the-trenches work at the Food Bank is so important. Thank you! It’s not just students in Mercer County, New Jersey who run the risk of going hungry on the weekends. Curcio Webb is going to address local food insecurity for children at our upcoming annual company meeting. Brian Pieper and his wife Katie are spearheading an opportunity for us to pack bags of food for children to eat during the weekend. They’re tapping into a local program that helps kids get meals on weekends i.e., where they are already participating in a meals-at-school program. Are there suggestions from our wider community re programs that deserve our attention? Where do you like to volunteer your time and treasure -- in order to "Send Hunger Packing"? #foodbanks #foodinsecurity #givingback

We are happy to announce our Inaugural Summer Food Drive! 🌞 Help us reach our goal of feeding 100 families this summer! 🌞 As summer rays blanket the landscape, the challenge of food insecurity intensifies for many individuals and families. ◾ With schools closing for vacation, the safety net of school meal programs disappears, leaving children at risk of going without nutritious meals. ◾ The soaring temperatures amplify the strain on limited resources, making it difficult for vulnerable communities to secure consistent access to fresh, wholesome food. ◾ In our current economic climate, more families are facing food insecurity than ever. Surprisingly, this often includes households with two working parents. As we savor the flavors of summer, let's also turn our attention to the urgent need for community-driven initiatives, support networks, and sustainable solutions to ensure that fewer people go hungry during these sunlit months. Keep an eye out for more updates! Contact us to contribute in any way possible: [email protected] | 817-447-4567 Donate: https://lnkd.in/g5CV9WBN #foodinsecurity #feedthehungry #fooddrive #communityimpact

If you're part of a family with young children, this FREE workshop is for you! 🚼 Join us next Thursday to build your own air cleaner in West Kelowna! Help us spread this precious opportunity! 🔊 This DIY Air Cleaner Workshops series is teaching pregnant women, seniors, and families with young children to be ready in response to wildfire smoke. Created in partnership with the City of West Kelowna, Interior Health, and Simon Fraser University, the workshop also highlights information on emergency preparedness. Air cleaners can be a significant benefit in reducing exposure to fine particulars from wildfire smoke, and research shows that the 'do it yourself' version is equally effective as a commercial air cleaner. • Families with young children: Thursday, August 15, 10 am-12 pm. Register at https://bit.ly/4fB1OdN --- United, we are here for each other: - Donate at https://bit.ly/3wBWkOg - Volunteer at https://bit.ly/4bFH6Xy Need support?
