Help Restock the Food Bank and Make a Difference! The local food bank is facing an urgent shortage, and it’s time for our community to step up. At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, we’re joining the effort to restock the shelves. We’re asking everyone in Auburn and the surrounding areas to bring non-perishable food items to our office so we can make a positive impact together. Every single item helps! Why Your Donation Matters: With the rising cost of living, more families than ever are turning to the food bank for help. These donations provide essential nutrition and support to those who need it most in our community. A small contribution can make a huge difference, from providing a warm meal to easing the burden of a tight budget. How You Can Help: Drop off canned goods, pasta, rice, peanut butter, and other shelf-stable items at our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate office. Let’s make a meaningful impact and help our neighbors in need! #GiveBack #FoodBankSupport #CommunityFirst #AuburnAL #RestockTheShelves #BHHSPreferredRealEstate #DonateFood https://lnkd.in/eHa-Wcd9

In our 2023 Annual Report, we take a look at trends at FISH over the past few years, particularly comparing pre-pandemic numbers to today. What we are seeing is continued growth in need, as the high cost of living paired with fewer support resources adds more and more strain for families. One area in which we have seen considerable increases is the pounds of food we distribute each year. In 2023, FISH distributed 1,560,603 pounds of food, more than any other year in our history as an organization. Our marketplace could not run without the generous support of our community. We source food from four main sources: donations from our Broomfield grocery stores and restaurant partners, Community Food Share, in-kind donations from our neighbors (which includes food drives!), and purchased food made possible by our incredible donors and by grant funding. All of these support networks allow us to stock a variety of food and personal care items for our families so they can shop for what their families need.

Join us in making a difference with Optima Living's annual Food Bank Day Challenge! This annual initiative helps build community through compassion and goes beyond donations—it's about uniting to support those in need and spread goodwill. Why is supporting food banks so vital? Across Canada, many struggle with food insecurity. Last year, we donated over 20,000 pounds (about 9300 kg) of food, providing 24,650 meals. This year, we're aiming even higher—30,000 pounds (about 13,600 kg)! Every can and dollar counts, directly helping those in need. Participating means bolstering local economies and strengthening community bonds. From now until September 6th, our Alberta and BC residences will compete to gather the most donations, adding a fun and spirited element to our efforts. Get involved by donating non-perishable food items or a monetary amount at your nearest Optima Living residence. https://lnkd.in/gJYi6NEZ Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

Today is National Food Bank Day and it serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role food banks play in our communities. They are essential lifelines, working tirelessly to combat hunger and provide critical support to those in need. But their efforts rely on us—each and every one of us—to step up and make a difference. Here’s how you can make a meaningful impact today: 1. Donate: If you have the means, contribute financially to your local food bank. Even a small donation can help them purchase the most needed items and cover operational costs. 2. Give Food: Drop off non-perishable food items at designated collection points. Consider high-demand items like canned goods, pasta, and cereal. Often food banks will have a list of their most in-demand items. 3. Volunteer: Offer your time and skills. Food banks are always in need of extra hands to sort donations, pack food boxes, and distribute meals. 4. Spread the Word: Share information about National Food Bank Day and the importance of food banks with your network. The more people know, the more support these organizations can receive. 5. Organize a Drive: Rally your friends, family, or workplace to host a food drive. It’s a great way to gather a larger amount of donations, raise awareness, and come together around a good cause. Remember, every contribution counts, no matter how small, and can significantly impact someone’s life. Let’s come together to ensure everyone has access to the food they need. #NationalFoodBankDay #FightHunger #GiveBack #CommunitySupport
