Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio's Food for All program was created by partnering with social service agencies and churches in rural eastern counties of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Together, we reduce hunger in our rural communities in places more challenged to find affordable, nutritionally dense food. These areas, sometimes known as food deserts, are more common than you’d think. They are found in urban neighborhoods and rural towns where access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food is limited. Instead of supermarkets and grocery stores, these communities may be served only by fast food restaurants and convenience stores that offer few healthy, affordable food options. The lack of access contributes to a poor diet and may lead to higher levels of obesity and other diet-related diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. We distribute food to struggling families in rural Adams, Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Highland Counties, and so far, this year, we have served 412,087 meals! Our Food for All program wouldn't exist without the support of donors, donors like YOU! Your generous financial commitment will help change and even save lives! So please consider Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio in your end-of-year giving plans. Donating to Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio is EASY and an active response to give back in gratitude for all the blessings we enjoy. Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio's tax ID# is 31-0536968. Checks can be sent to 7162 Reading Road, Ste. 600, Cincinnati, OH 45237, or give securely online at ccswoh.org/donate. Questions? Contact Dan Sarell at [email protected] or (513) 672-3710.

In the U.S., 13 million children live in food-insecure homes. For many of these kids, school lunch is their only meal of the day, yet the current funding of $4.43 per meal is simply not enough to provide the nutritious food they need to thrive. That’s why I’m participating in the $5 Boost Campaign—a mission to raise funds for HydroTowers and Independence Gardens' cooking program, Come and EAT IT. These initiatives bring fresh, healthy food directly into schools, empowering students to learn and grow. ?? Here’s How You Can Help: - Donate just $5 to make a difference in a child’s life. Your contribution will help us reach our goal and ensure that kids have access to the healthy meals they deserve. ?? If you’re in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, join us on September 14th for our Food Fight event—a chef competition focused on transforming school lunch. Can’t make it in person? No problem! Your $5 donation also gives you access to the virtual event, so you can watch the action live. Let’s come together to fight for a future where no child has to worry about their next meal.

Charities helping charities! We love collaborating and working in partnership with the local community. Things we receive through supermarket donations that we can't make use of, like certain toiletries, baby food, or pet food, we ensure they are used elsewhere through partnerships with other local charities and food banks. Keeping these connections alive is vital to us all being successful and being able to continue to help who we do. Last week we were able to swap some toiletries for a couple of sacks of potatoes....! The Food banks can't use perishable items as easily as we can due to storage and perishability limitations, but we can definitely ensure they are used in our busy hostel kitchen! This week we also met Jazz from Kiran Support Services at a partnership meeting, and she told us about Period poverty which is a global issue! This affects women who don't have access to the safe, hygienic menstrual products they need, and/or who are unable to manage their periods with dignity, sometimes due to community stigma and sanction. We often get an influx of sanitary pads and tampons; it all really depends on who is donating, but where we can, Cathy does try and give to organisations that most need it. Kiran is now another one on our list of contacts. Thank you to all our local partners - and the amazing people who are the steel holding these bonds together! (Our Cathy is one of those amazing people!) These potatoes have gone so far in dinners this week! We also hate waste, so it's a win win. ?? Thank you to all of our supporters, partners, and volunteers far and wide - we couldn't do what we do without you ?? #enablingindependence #charity #walthamstowcharity #localcharity #charitieshelpingcharities #potatoes #swaps #foodbanks #kiransupportservices #dv #periodpoverty #poverty #stigma #partnershipworking #teamwork #sharingresources #helpingsupportothers #tampons #sanitarypads

This week, I reached a personal milestone of having donated a total of $100,000 to charity so far in my life. Seeing the positive impact of these donations has been a real source of purpose and fulfillment for me. Here's a breakdown of the estimated impact based on the best available evidence, alongside some of the charities I've supported: ? Improved welfare for thousands of farm animals, including 2,000 chickens living life outside a cage (Animal Charity Evaluators and The Humane League) ? Saved 2 human lives through malaria prevention (GiveWell) ? Provided temporary shelter to 100 refugee families (International Rescue Committee) ? Offset 40 years of carbon emissions for the average American (Clean Air Task Force) ? Preserved 150 acres of rainforest from deforestation (Rainforest Trust) ? Backed the development of plant-based and cultivated meat alternatives (The Good Food Institute) ? Funded research to mitigate risks from advanced artificial intelligence (https://lnkd.in/gSecKrS3) ? Supported research for CDKL5 deficiency disorder, which affects my niece (International Foundation for CDKL5 Research (IFCR)) ? Enabled 25 individuals to attend 10-day Vipassana meditation courses (https://pasava.dhamma.org/) Incorporating compassion and generosity into financial goals, at any scale, can make a profound difference. I hope that by sharing this milestone, others feel inspired to discover the impact their own charitable donations can make. If any of this resonates, consider taking the Giving What We Can Pledge at https://lnkd.in/gkHzuAeZ. Each act of kindness adds up, and together we can create a more compassionate world for all beings.

Recent data from Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap report shows that food insecurity has increased 30% across our service territory, meaning an additional 80,000 neighbors are newly food insecure. Within our 27-county service territory alone, nearly 350,000 neighbors, including 100,000 children face food insecurity. State-funded anti-hunger programs are critical investments that are required to enable the distribution of charitable food to millions of children, families, and seniors across Pennsylvania. Despite the level-funding of these core nutritional programs, CPFB will continue to advocate for our neighbors facing hunger. #nonprofit #foodbank #centralpafb

When you make your list of who to give to this season, please keep all our hungry and food insecure nOURish BRIDGEPORT neighbors in mind. Only with your generous donation will nOURish be able to continue distributing groceries, hot meals & fresh healthy produce to the thousands of people we serve every week. As we all know, food is expensive. The supply chain is broken. For our neighbors, adequate food is a daily struggle. They often have to choose between food and rent, or food and medicine. No one should have to make that choice. Together, we can do something about it. Let’s make a choice to love our neighbors. Have a relative who has enough? Give to nOURish in their name. Don’t know what to get your co-worker down the hall? Donate to nOURish in their honor. Remembering a loved one no longer at your family table? Contribute to nOURish in their memory. Overwhelmed by the world’s events? Help nOURish feed people that live on Bridgeport streets. Please put nOURish BRIDGEPORT on your giving list this year. What you will give is not only food – but HOPE! ?? https://tr.ee/3Uyr88bKuZ #foodinsecurity #donation #giveback #feedtheneed #fooddrive #donatetoday #community #communityhelp #communitystrong #fooddesert #charity #charitablecause #charitablefoundation
