Feeding America

Hurricane Helene has devastated communities across several states, and the Feeding America network is already on the ground, working alongside communities, state officials and national partners, to provide essential food and resources. We are working closely with food banks across six states as they assess and address damage and impact to their own facilities and work to distribute emergency supplies, including water, disaster boxes, snacks and more to hard-hit areas. With our extensive national network, we prioritize getting aid to the most affected areas first, allowing us to respond quickly and support long-term recovery efforts in communities. Visit FeedingAmerica.org/Helene to donate--every contribution matters! 🧡 Need help? Find a local food bank near you at https://lnkd.in/gvibnHZs #HurricaneHelene #Helene #FeedingAmerica

Feeding America applauds the announcement of $1 billion in additional funding for emergency food assistance by the Biden administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This investment comes at a crucial time. Food insecurity in the U.S. rose again in 2023 when 47.4 million people—1 in 7 people, including 1 in 5 children—experienced food insecurity. Families and individuals experiencing hunger are working to secure access to fresh, healthy food to thrive, and this funding will provide critical resources for food banks who are ready to assist them. In support of neighbors, food banks have been operating under heightened need, with increased food purchase and transportation costs. Food programs for seniors and Native and tribal communities have been impacted by supply chain issues. Now, as communities begin to recover from Hurricane Helene, food banks are providing short-term and long-term disaster response and support. Feeding America is grateful to the USDA for its continued commitment to hunger relief. 📰 Read our full statement: https://bit.ly/3Y48MRW
