The WHY behind why we do what we do!! WATCH THIS VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND THE SIMPLE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS IN COMMUNITY!

Food donations are lowest in summer months, just when families need additional food to feed children who are home on summer break. Without the schools’ free or reduced-cost breakfasts and lunches, our families struggle more in summer months to provide full, nutritious meals for their children. Last month, we were short over 1,000 items for our June distribution. As we prepare for July and August distributions, we anticipate even larger collection shortages. While our donations are at their lowest, the need in our community is at its highest. Currently, over 2,500 individuals (663 families) in Chapel Hill and Carrboro rely on our monthly Food for Families distributions, including 1,450 children. Can you help us fill the gap in donations with a financial gift? 30 can help us bridge the gap for 2 families. $60 will ensure full bags for 4 families. $100 means 7 families will receive all food categories for every summer food distribution.

Here's a great way to double your impact on this #GivingTuesday!

We are proud to support Food Bank Aid’s 36-hour Appeal on Sunday 25th to Monday 26th February to raise £1.25 million so it can continue to support 31 food banks across North London, helping 20,000 individuals. To support the Appeal, please visit https://lnkd.in/eN_4zV_K   In the wake of an escalating cost-of-living crisis, Food Bank Aid faces unprecedented challenges as donations have fallen off a cliff and this ‘cost-of-living crisis’ becomes a ‘cost of giving’ crisis. Last year, there was a 38% increase in the number of people visiting a food bank in London many of those were working people, with 1 in 4 parents in London struggling to afford to feed their family.   The Appeal is match funded, and so every pound donated during the 36 hours will be doubled and 100% raised will be spent on essential goods for the food banks.   Helping may not change our lives, but it will change the lives of others.   Can we bank on you?

Happy Giving Tuesday!! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this platform who has liked, shared, or commented on our posts– it has genuinely made a huge difference in our growth this year. As the founder of this organization, I've witnessed firsthand the staggering disparity between food excess and scarcity in our country. Nearly 40% of our food supply goes to waste, while simultaneously, 44 million Americans face the challenge of food insecurity. At Sharing Excess, we're dedicated to solving this paradox by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to communities in need. Our mission is not just about providing food; it's about revolutionizing food sharing to overcome the logistical barriers that often hinder food rescue and redistribution. I know you’re probably being bombarded with Giving Tuesday requests from many amazing organizations– but we need your support. I hope that our work stands out as being a highly impactful use of your donations today, as we are able to provide 160 meals for every $10 donated. Your contributions will enable us cover the costs of transportation and allow us to partner with grocery stores, wholesalers, and farmers, ensuring that perfectly good food reaches those who need it most, rather than ending up in landfills. Every donation up to $10,000 is matched today thanks to a generous donor. No worries at all if you can't donate, even sharing this post helps a ton. Much love and thank you all for your continued support and generosity. Here's the link to donate: https://lnkd.in/gqPKHQAQ #GivingTuesday #EndHunger #FoodRescue #Nonprofit #SharingExcess

The St. Louis Area Foodbank is thankful for your support as we face additional challenges serving our community and building a stronger bi-state region. Despite historically low unemployment, food insecurity remains high due, in part, to current economic trends created by rising costs. • The amount of food we distributed is up 11%. • The cost of procuring food to ensure we are able to feed the need is up 144%. • Food donations are down 16%. • Food Drive donations are down 20%. • The number of food drives is up 47%. • Credit card fees (many of our financial donations are given via card) are up 195%. • Fuel costs for our delivery fleet are up 34%. • Leasing expenses for our delivery fleet are up 22%. Financial and food donations from corporate and individual donors can make a big difference. Learn how you can help at: stlfoodbank.org/give-help/ #FoodInsecurity #MakeADifference
