In honor of #IceCreamDay this Sunday, we’re reminiscing about our sweet outing! This past Wednesday, our Feeding Westchester team had a blast at Green & Tonic in Rye Brook, tasting Jeanne Muchnick's Summer Signature "Jeanne's lohud Sundae." Proceeds from this delicious treat are supporting our mission all summer long! A big thank you to Jeanne, the popular food reporter for lohud/Journal News, for her continuous support. It was the perfect way to enjoy a 95-degree day and come together for a great cause! Together we are Feeding Westchester.

According to the latest USDA research, 1 in 5 children experience food insecurity in the U.S. The problem worsens every year when schools close for summer and millions of kids lose reliable access to breakfast and lunch. But there’s good news! USDA’s new, permanent grocery assistance program called SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, can help close the summer hunger gap. 🎒 SUN Bucks is a proven tool to reduce child hunger and support better nutrition. Providing families with grocery benefits during the summer months helps ensure every child has access to the nourishment they need, even when school is out. 🧡 🎥 Learn more about SUN Bucks from Feeding America supporter Chrissy Teigen 💻 Find FAQs and additional details at https://lnkd.in/eJEcE-Wz

In 1974, $20 could buy a family a week’s worth of groceries. Fast forward to 2024, that same $20 barely covers the basics. Rising food costs are making it harder for families to put nutritious meals on the table. Together, we can make a difference.

Happy Independence Day from Feeding Westchester! As we enjoy the festivities, let's remember those who may struggle with hunger in our community. Your support enables us to distribute nutritious meals to thousands of individuals and families throughout the year. Together, we can turn holiday celebrations into opportunities to support our community. Together we are Feeding Westchester.
