Holidays like Thanksgiving are about warmth and enrichment, but for those facing food insecurity, it can be a stressful time. Project Bread CEO Erin McAleer is here with a message for you. No one should go hungry — certainly not during the holidays. Your gift today is more than a holiday meal. It’s a lifeline. We help about 20,000 people per year through our FoodSource Hotline, from assisting people with finding free meals for their kids to guiding them with their SNAP applications. Donating today provides families with reliable access to food, choice in what they eat, and relief from daily hunger worries. Not just on Thanksgiving, but all year long.

Quick fixes rarely last, but with the right support and systems, lasting results are always within reach. For my third sector clients, I focus on small, consistent actions that shape great outcomes.

It’s not one safety net, it’s a multitude of safety nets that keep food insecure households fed. A combination of STAMP, charitable organizations and rigorous planning to keep food on the table is a reality for the millions of households in the US who are food insecure.

Food security remains a huge issue in New York City, especially as food costs have skyrocketed over the last several years. Unfortunately, many Brooklynites do not always know where their next meal will come from. At BCS, we’re working to feed Brooklyn with our New York Food for New York Families program. We also explore this issue further in our new blog post, which goes live later this week!

Purposeful Partnerships. Did you know that September is #HungerActionMonth? At Milo's, we strive to create pathways for prosperity for our associates and the communities we serve - and part of that is includes physical and mental wellness. Did you know there are millions of households in America that face food uncertainty every day? Through Milo's Tea Company, Inc. 1% Profit Pledge, we give monetary and product donations to communities and organizations that align with our values and focus areas of Education and Advancement for All, Better Planet for Generations, and Community Disaster Relief. We do this because our purpose at Milo's is sparking joy every day. We call these #MilosMoments and it's not just use occasions with our beverages. Last year, we donated over 1M servings of delicious beverages to emergency feeding, disaster relief, and nonprofit fundraising events. But, during the month of September, we're doing a little more. Along with offering volunteer opportunities for our associates to make an impact, Milo's is donating $30k to Feeding America organizations. And, together with our local partners Community Food Bank of Central Alabama and Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, our TEAm will assemble and pack food donation boxes for local communities where we have manufacturing and distribution centers. Participating in one day of volunteering isn't going to solve the complex challenges of food security in our country, but we have to start somewhere, today. Plus, it's really fun fellowship time. I participated last year with the TEAm and even brought my daughter. I'm a #ProudCEO that we are a #PeopleFirst company that knows lives its value of Stewardship and it's not just a sign on the break room wall. What does your enterprise do that makes a difference - we're always looking for new ideas. #DrinkMilos #MilosMakesADifference

Did you know that 1 in 8 Americans experience food insecurity while more than $200 billion is spent on food that will never be eaten? That’s billions of pounds of food wasted instead of going to those who need it. Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) aims to redistribute excess food to people experiencing food insecurity. RLC makes it easy for businesses to donate their excess food to their community and provides a reliable, professional food rescue service for our partners at an efficient cost. Join us at the Rescuing Leftover Cuisine Gala 2024 as we unite to end food insecurity. If you cannot attend, please donate to support the cause.

Rising food costs have made it challenging for people to feed themselves and as a result has stretched many charitable food organizations thin. Our goal with our newly named Food Security Campaign is to help these organizations nourish communities in need.

Black Friday is a time when shoppers flock to grab great deals on everything from electronics to clothing. Yet, for many in New Zealand, this period isn’t about discounts — it’s a reminder of the daily struggle to meet basic needs, with families worrying about food, utilities, and essentials for their children. This Black Friday, we decided to give our customers the choice: either GET 20% off your order or GIVE your 20% to our chosen charity, Meat The Need. Meat the Need use meat, milk, and monetary donations to ensure that food parcels reach those who need them. We are proud to stand alongside them this Black Friday. Other participating brands: CaliWoods - Supporting Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Bit by Bit - Supporting Forest & Bird Raw Nature - Supporting Insight Endometriosis Charitable Trust (NZ)

Definition of Vulnerability: sous-chef carefully pouring large container of warm sticky honey into jars and unable to defend himself without spreading stickiness everywhere. Too tempting for tickling! It’s been a week of charities. Supporting the hand-over of Treasurers for our local village hall. It’s not a crock of gold but we do hoard our income with great care. Meanwhile, another wildly over-staffed national charity still can’t share information well: late, poor literacy and barely comprehends its beneficiaries. It would be good if the feedback made some difference but decades of experience suggests not. Finally, another vestigial charity with huge ambitions but masses of risk as it needs to get to grips with creating and distributing a substance to the public with all the associated licencing and insurance complications. How’s that for just a few days? The good news is that middle age now continues until at least the mid-70s. Someone should be telling employers. #vulnerable #honey #stickymess #souschef #charities #villagehall #middleage #blind #disabilityawareness
