Feeding America

This Thanksgiving, we’re teaming up with the Detroit Lions for their iconic Thanksgiving Day Classic to spotlight a truth too many know: millions of people in the U.S. face hunger. Together, we’re bringing compassion, connection, and community to the table—so every family can gather with dignity. Give now: FeedingAmerica.org/Tackle | #OnePride #FeedingAmerica

We are grateful for our volunteers and volunteer professionals this Thanksgiving holiday! YOU are the warm smile that welcomes neighbors facing hunger in our community, the hands that stock the shelves, the feet that bring food into the homes of our seniors and the hearts that keep this work moving forward. Like Dr. Kathryn Fishman-Weaver, a volunteer in Missouri, who posted her experience on social stated, "Sometimes you get to share a cinnamon cookie with someone you just met....Yes, the lines are long. Tonight you notice new faces along with familiar ones...We talk politics and poetry. We talk about ordinary things: tomatoes, the weather....Citrus wafts between us. It fills the air with all that is said and unsaid in these sacred spaces." Samantha Cripe, Volunteer Programs Manager at The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri, shared, "When the world feels heavy, and the challenges facing our community seem insurmountable, the power of volunteering is real. As the volunteer manager, I get the chance to see these small acts add up to more than 11,500 volunteers helping share more than 21 million meals in a 32-county service area each year! I’m proud that our community comes together on good days and bad days to keep providing food to those who need it the most."

🍽️ Older adults work hard to stretch their resources, yet 7.4 million seniors lived with food insecurity in 2023. 🧡 Share this post to show support for seniors facing hunger! More ways to help: https://lnkd.in/gi2mgV3j

Across the country, families are facing increased need—and it takes all of us to help ensure everyone has access to nourishing food. To help meet rising demand, the PepsiCo Foundation is helping expand mobile pantries in communities nationwide – aiming to remove barriers and provide access for neighbors facing hunger. In addition, PepsiCo’s Food for Good program is donating 40,000 shelf-stable meals to help reach even more families. We’re grateful for partners like PepsiCo who show what’s possible when communities come together to support one another. #EndHunger #FoodForGood #CommunityImpact #Partnership

Together, we’re fueling lasting change. 🧡 Ending hunger for good in rural communities—where food insecurity rates are often highest, especially among children—takes the strength of trusted partnerships and shared commitment. We’re proud to join forces with CHS Inc. and CoBank in advancing solutions that build stronger, more food-secure communities. Their generosity and partnership help make long-term impact possible.

Nearly 40% of all SNAP participants are children. SNAP helps nourish bright futures, strong communities and local economies. 🧡 📞 Call your lawmakers at 1-888-598-7257 and tell them: Work together to reopen the government and fully fund SNAP! More ways to help: https://lnkd.in/gi2mgV3j

🚨 SNAP Benefits Disrupted for Over 40 million Neighbors For the first time in history, the country’s largest anti-hunger program has been disrupted. Over 40 million people — including hard-working families, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities — have temporarily lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the federal shutdown. Across the country, neighbors are doing everything they can to care for their families. Their resilience is extraordinary, but with grocery costs already stretching budgets to the limit, this moment calls for compassion and collective action. Together, we can ensure families and individuals stay nourished through the unexpected and continue to feel the strength of a community that shows up when it matters most. 🧡 Give Now – Your support helps provide meals and hope for neighbors facing hunger: bit.ly/4hrZTts
