We distribute the food we rescue to No Cost Grocery Programs (NCGPs), which are resident-led programs where community members can “shop” for the fresh, healthy food at no charge, with no paperwork and no questions asked. NCGPs are co-created with existing community organizations like schools, recreation centers, and nonprofits that are already established and trusted within the neighborhood, decreasing transportation barriers. Residents of the NCGP community lead the distribution of rescued food, and many also help with food rescue shifts. This participation decreases stigma of traditional food pantries, empowering each neighborhood to create a program that is appropriate for their culture & community. #foodaccess #foodrescue #foodjustice #foodsecurity #healthequity #healthequitynow #healthequityjustice #healthequityforall #denvervolunteers #volunteer #denverfood #denver

Hello LinkedIn 👋 We’re the Community Share Food Bank (CSFB), serving the Don Mills community in Toronto for 20 years. Community Share was founded in response to the growing issue of food insecurity in our community. The need was clear, and our initiative began with a simple yet profound mission: to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. 20 years of alleviating hunger later, our commitment remains as the need grows. CSFB usage has skyrocketed over the past few years, with a 130% increase since 2019. Change is long overdue. To mark our 20th year we will be joining calls for systemic changes that aim at the root causes of hunger: 🌱 Let’s talk the human right to food; food rescue initiatives; and urban gardening. 🤝 Let’s collaborate in advocating on employment for marginalized populations; updated, adequate social supports; and deeply affordable housing - among many other intersecting factors of poverty. 💬 We're eager to contribute to realizing human rights, including food, employment, housing, and health. We’re here to join a caring community and be part of the solutions, together. Follow CSFB on LinkedIn for more fresh updates. Let’s connect and raise our voices! 📣 #communitysharefoodbank #foodbank #foodinsecurity #urbangardening #foodrescue #righttofood #advocacy #socialsupport #affordablehousing #donmills #employment #community #nonprofit

Food insecurity affects every community in the U.S. Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study is a powerful tool to understand local impact and take action. We can leverage this data to address factors impacting food insecurity and unite to ensure everyone has access to the food and resources we all need to thrive.  Many of us have experienced hunger or know someone who has.  When we listen to people facing hunger and use the study's findings, America can choose to end hunger. Whether it’s advocating for a strong farm bill or investing in our communities, it’s up to all of us to unite in our efforts to create a future where everyone has access to the nutritious food and resources we need to thrive.     Even when we disagree, we can all agree on ending hunger. Hunger is a challenge we can overcome together.  Join us on our #nutritionmission here at Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County by volunteering or donating so we can continue to provide nutritious food to our community. We are currently serving over 436,000 people per month on average, including 138,000 children and 86,000 seniors #wefeedOC #wefarmOC

Rescuing Leftover Cuisine’s mission is to provide a reliable food rescue service by fostering community connections to reduce food waste and food insecurity. ➡️ 40% of food produced in this country is wasted — while 42 million Americans remain food insecure. RLC volunteers rescue food along the way home from work or to class and help feed millions of hungry Americans while offsetting carbon emissions. “It's the first time in my life that I’ve found an organization that does the kind of work that aligns with something that I’ve been through," says Nathan, a volunteer from New York. "I experienced food insecurity, food pantries, and welfare in my early 20s. It brings together people that wouldn’t otherwise come together with different backgrounds to transport excess food. I’ll be a part of it for as long as I’m here.” Learn more about how you can make an impact in the hunger crisis in America by getting in touch with our Philanthropy Advisor: goodnation.io/donors Photo from Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. - #foodinsecurity #hungercrisis #foodwaste #hunger #poverty #foodrescue #endpoverty #philanthropy #philanthropyadvising ⁠#nonprofits #socialimpact
