More in US access food banks

Such a powerful and moving depiction of what many of our neighbors (more than 50 Million) are dealing with during the pandemic. Be sure to watch the video! Great job author Sharon Cohen and the AP. #feedingamerica #hungerrelief #data4good https://lnkd.in/enqQjNt

With a second coronavirus relief bill still not on the horizon, more and more Americans are losing access to benefits. Survey data from Morning Consult shows that 19 percent of recipients said their unemployment benefits expired already in November and another 47 percent said theirs would expire in December. Only 34 percent of recipients expect their benefits to continue into 2021, as the chart at https://lnkd.in/d-wEsk8 shows.

Millions of hungry Americans turn to food banks for 1st time. Where should you give your Christmas #charity ? To a Foodbank, because these are your neighbours who are not sure where their next meal is coming from

“In the pandemic of 2020, with illness, job loss and business closures, millions more Americans are worried about empty refrigerators and barren cupboards … some folks are skipping meals so their children can eat and others are depending on cheap food that lacks nutrition.” This is why what you do – what we do together – matters. https://bit.ly/3mTpPkI #WhatYouDoMatters #EndHunger #FightHunger

#managementmonday tip: #leaders, instead of a #holiday2020 party, why not build #teamculture by helping others? #foodbanks are coping with unprecedented demand as the #pandemic continues to ravage the nation. #foodinsecurity is the quiet epidemic gaining momentum and it has major consequences for #learners at all ages - hungry brains don't #learn as well or effectively. Try holding a virtual #fundraiserevent for a local #foodbank. If you are in #executiveleadership, think about making a donation on behalf of your #team, or redirecting the #holidayparty funds to #feedingamerica, Chef Andres' World Central Kitchen (wok.org), or ntfb.org. #purposedriven work that aligns to #corevalues is a major reason why people stay - or leave - #organizations. Good #leadership is also about being a good #neighbor. #leadershipmatters #lessonsinleadership #leadershipbyexample #creativeleaders #thoughtleadership #futureleaders #northtexasfoodbank #worldcentralkitchen

Most food banks will be stretched past their limits, due to this unprecedented demand. Consider making a donation to your local food bank to help out. https://lnkd.in/gH2Yyx9
