This week is Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week. ??? ??? On a typical night, over half a million Americans face homelessness, with the primary driver being the disproportionate gap between income and rent prices. This disparity is a policy choice, not an economic inevitability. Learn more about Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week ?? https://lnkd.in/ddcEzj9J

FRN national staff joined volunteers from Northeastern University's chapter in Boston to support food recovery efforts from the National Association of REALTORS? fall conference, NAR NXT . ? ?? They recovered 1,454 pounds of surplus food from 7 venues, splitting the donation of a whopping 1,212 meals between two partner agencies: The New England Center and Home for Veterans and The Salvation Army Cambridge Corps Shelter. We are beyond grateful for our fantastic student leaders who make recoveries like this possible! ??

Chef, activist, and author Sean Sherman, a member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Tribe, challenges us to confront the harsh realities of food insecurity in Native and Tribal communities where 1 in 4 face hunger -- double what white people experience in the U.S. In a new blog titled "Indigenous Heritage Month: Immersing in Knowledge, Understanding Our Food System History, and Creating Change," FRN's Executive Director, Regina Harmon, reflects on her learnings after getting the opportunity to hear Sean Sherman speak at the National Museum of American History. His insights highlight the deep ties between systemic racism, land theft, and food sovereignty, inviting us into his story from a vantage point unknown to many of us. Check out the full article to explore why it is so important to understand our shared history and support Indigenous efforts to heal and reclaim their food systems. Regina even has you covered with a list of suggested texts and links to resources to encourage a deeper and continuous understanding of our history at your own pace. ?? https://lnkd.in/ddcEzj9J P.S.
