In 2007, we held our first global convening of food bankers. At that time, we didn’t know that this meeting would become the preeminent gathering of food bankers worldwide and an important locus for broader food systems conversations. As we look forward to this year’s event, the GFN Global Summit, look back on the milestones that have made the event what it is today. #GFNGlobalSummit2024 #FoodBanks #FoodSystems Foodbank Australia

Tune into episode 7 of Shelf Confidence, where we talk with Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association new member Feeding Pennsylvania and its program, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative, about solutions they offer to local merchants and food banks. Learn more about both organizations on our podcast: https://lnkd.in/e3XCmU7c Feeding Pennsylvania is the statewide association of nine Feeding America-affiliated food banks. The mission of Feeding Pennsylvania is to promote and aid our member food banks in securing food and other resources to reduce hunger and food insecurity across the state and to provide a shared voice on the issues of hunger and food access within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A program of Feeding Pennsylvania, The Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative (MARC) is a member-led regional produce cooperative of Feeding America Food Banks serving the Mid-Atlantic Region from Maine to Virginia. The MARC provides solutions to farmers, wholesalers, and importers by offering an outlet for surplus product and distributing that excess to food banks throughout the region. This enables food banks to receive anywhere from 5-10 different commodities per load—enhancing the variety and value to their clients and allowing food banks a more dependable and efficient supply. The MARC can solve your excess production and inventory problems, while you help us ensure that more fresh produce gets into the homes of families facing hunger. #PFMA #FeedingPA #FoodBanks #Hunger #ShelfConfidence

In the film "12 Years a Slave," there is a poignant scene where the overseer, citing the Bible, tells the slaves who can't read that they must labor tirelessly from sunrise to sunset, giving their all, and self-flagellate if they fail to meet expectations, to cleanse their sins. This scenario eerily mirrors the current dynamics between restaurants and food delivery platforms. These platforms, far from being charitable, continuously optimize their algorithms to their advantage, forcing restaurants to depend solely on them by phasing out their own delivery operations. This dependency has led many restaurants to shut down, while others struggle to reclaim their delivery services, realizing too late the damage done to their reputation and customer base. Personally, I don't blame these restaurant owners for their initial trust in a system they did not fully understand. This situation highlights the need for continuous adaptation and strategy refinement on my part to effectively support restaurateurs. Success in this industry is gauged by four critical factors: rating, staff service, delivery time, and packaging quality. When a restaurant effectively manages these areas, it significantly advances towards achieving success.

Colonel Sanders, Founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Let's reflect on the story of a old man who founded KFC. Before his major breakthrough,Colonel Sanders was broke, living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car. He was living off $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decided things had to change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends and family had praised his chicken recipe on uncountable occasions. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change. He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners that he had a finger licking chicken recipe. He offered them all a free recipe, and just asked for a small percentage on the items sold. This seems like a good deal, right? Unfortunately, the case was not the same for most of the restaurants. He heard NO over 1000 times. Even after all of those rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something exceptional. He got rejected so many times before he heard his first yes. With one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born. Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejections.
