Atlanta Community Food Bank’s Post

*Beryl Update from Southeast Texas Food Bank based in Beaumont, Texas*: "Thankfully we do not have any damage at the Southeast Texas Food Bank and are fully operational. However, some of our neighbors in our northern counties have suffered extensive damage and some are displaced from their homes. We are currently assessing the needs of the community but we need your help." Southeast Texas Food Bank- Ending Hunger. Feeding Hope. Donate to help those hungry in Southeast Texas (Serving 8 County Region): https://lnkd.in/euEQPJn Did you know a $10 donation can help provide up to 30 meals for desperate people in your community? By making a donation, you’re helping to ensure that hungry children in Southeast Texas are adequately nourished, that none of our senior citizens are forced to chose between medicine and food, and that every family facing a crisis can at least have the assurance of food on the table. #setxfoodbank #jaspercountytexas #hardincountytexas #jeffersoncountytexas #BerylDisasterRecovery #newtoncountytexas #polkcountytexas #organecountytexas #sabinecountytexas #tylercountytexas

A few year’s ago my family joined our first JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Toronto. We were incredibly inspired by JDRF’s commitment to improving lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and its complications. We were overcome with emotion being surrounded by other T1D families, ambassadors, and dedicated volunteers and staff. Our hearts were filled with hope for a bright future for our son Ashton, and all Canadians living with T1D. Experiencing this profound sense of community, we knew we had to be a part of JDRF’s mission to advance T1D, to find a cure, and to accelerate the pace of research to get closer to the goal of a world without diabetes. This is why it means so much to our family to be a part of the JDRF Holiday Match program. A cure for T1D would mean everything. It would mean no more finger pricks, no more needles, no fear of complications, no life-threatening urgent low blood sugars, and no more sleepless nights. It would mean Ashton could be present in every moment of every day, instead of worrying about what the next moment may bring. It would mean no children would have to live with T1D. Today, and every day, we dream of a cure and we never give up! 💙 #givingseason #diabetesawareness

WE ARE NOW LIVE! Every donation is now being DOUBLED while match funds last. Joyce, a mother of two, used to worry everyday about how she would feed her children the healthy food they needed. She told us recently that thanks to Rose Vouchers she can buy them the fruit and veg they need to grow into healthy adults. "For people on a low income, Rose Vouchers mean you can still feed your kids. It’s a lifeline. I can make whole meals out of Rose Vouchers. I like that they give me enough for my family. Sometimes I have some food leftover to save for the next week. We’re so grateful.” Through the Rose Vouchers for Fruit and Veg project, we don’t just help families to eat, we help them eat well. The benefits are clear, and practical: 🍇 Families’ fruit and veg intake improves by an average of 3 portions a day. 🍋 55% of parents now eat at least 5 portions of fruit & veg a day, up from 15%. 🍎 64% of children now eat at least 5 portions of fruit & veg a day, up from 7%. In the last 12 months, we’ve supported 4,136 families, including over 6,204 children, to buy healthy fresh fruit and veg and avoid food poverty with over £900,000 in Rose Vouchers. That’s a 39% year-on-year increase which we’ve been able to provide thanks to your generosity. But the need is still growing. Despite falling inflation, prices remain stubbornly high, and more people in the UK are experiencing food poverty. Families constantly tell us they simply cannot afford enough fresh fruit and veg for their children to thrive. Our Champions for Children fundraiser is crucial. Every donation, no matter the size, makes an immediate difference. Your donation will be doubled by our match funders. Imagine the relief and joy of a parent who can now provide nutritious meals for their children because of you. Please join us in this incredible opportunity to double your impact and help parents and children in need. Your kindness means the world to us and the families we serve. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for countless families. https://lnkd.in/efVMq3Kk
