#ENVCares about supporting our communities! Our team joined forces with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to help make a difference, packing an incredible 5,100 meals — that’s 200 meals per volunteer! Together, we’re working to combat hunger and provide for our neighbors in need. We’re grateful for the chance to give back, and we look forward to making an even bigger impact in the future.

Hunger Action Month: Keep Pushing Forward As we take action against hunger this month, we’re inspired by a favorite quote from Jay Hawkins, Director of Food Recovery Programs: “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison This Hunger Action Month, let’s remember that every effort counts. From rescuing food from retailers to advocating for policy change, every action brings us one step closer to ending hunger in New York State. Together, we can push through challenges and make a real impact. Don’t give up—we’re closer than we think! #hungeractionmonth #togetherwecanendhunger

By celebrating the successes of other nonprofits, we can both empower the entire nonprofit community and unlock valuable lessons to enhance our own impact. The Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) is a beacon in the fight against hunger in Chicago. Since its founding in 1979, GCFD has been a pivotal force in distributing food to pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other programs, addressing both immediate food needs and the root causes of food insecurity. Here's an overview of GCFD's key strategies and impact: - Innovative Partnerships: Collaborates with local farmers, grocery stores, and food manufacturers to rescue and distribute surplus food. - Community Programs: Operates mobile food pantries, soup kitchens, and nutrition education initiatives to reach those most in need. - Advocacy and Education: Advocates for policies to address hunger’s root causes and educates families on nutrition and food budgeting. - Workforce Development: Offers job training programs to help individuals gain skills in the foodservice industry. Now take a look at their incredible results: - Distributed over 80 million pounds of food in 2023, providing 66 million meals. - Improved health outcomes through partnerships with healthcare providers. - Helped many secure stable employment through job training programs. GCFD’s holistic approach is creating lasting change in the community. Let their success inspire innovative strategies in your nonprofit! #NonprofitLeadership #CommunityImpact #InspirationalStories #FoodSecurity #Chicago #OrganizedSynergy

In Michigan, nearly 12% of people face food insecurity, and many of our community members face barriers to accessing nutritious food. Food insecurity has soared over the past few years, making it more important than ever to create a future where our food system is equitable, sustainable, and equipped to meet southeast Michigan’s needs. At our foundation, we support a number of nonprofit organizations, including Fair Food Network, Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, Forgotten Harvest, Capuchin Soup Kitchen, and Make Food Not Waste, who are working to increase food access, destigmatized food insecurity, and provide education and resources so that people throughout our region can thrive.

It's time to elevate the voices of those directly involved in the hunger relief system ?? and look beyond the halo effect of the charitable food system. Having managed a large church food pantry for over a decade under the Feeding America network, I often describe my perspective of the system as the toddler view. ?????? Allow me to illustrate: When a parent cleans a house, they see a polished, clutter-free table and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, perhaps even expecting praise from their partner. But when a toddler looks up, they see a different reality. They notice the cracks, dirt, gum, and grime that have accumulated over the years beneath the table. I have that toddler view. Working at ground level, I witness the areas in need of improvement within food banking and food rescue. Do I have all the answers? No. But I do have solutions. ALL frontline workers have solutions. ?? My question to those who support hunger relief efforts (foundations, event planners, elected officials, food futurists, food sustainability experts, big corporations, universities, government agencies, journalists, etc.): When was the last time you listened to and amplified the voices of the community leaders on the frontlines rather than relying on the words of those who make decisions behind a computer screen and pose for the perfect picture? Here are some things you can do: 1. Understand the ability to scale doesn't always solve hunger, it might actually perpetuate it. 2. Invite frontline workers to round table discussions, listen fully, and take notes. 3. Provide a safe place for frontline workers to share their concerns without fear of retaliation. ?????? 4. Understand you will have to go against the status quo and think differently. 5. Admit that we all have room for improvement. 6. Realize there are many perspectives. 7. Know that each community is different and a one size fits all approach doesn't work! 8. Encourage frontline workers to be bold with their thoughts and experiences. ?????? 9. Acknowledge that we have all been wrong b/c if we were right, hunger would not exist. #FoodDignity #BetheChange #ElevateFrontlineSolutions #RealSolutions #LocalCommunity #CommunityBuilding

Tackling Summer Hunger with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin ?? Summer should be a time for kids to play, explore, and enjoy the sunshine. But for many families in Eastern Wisconsin, it's also a season of uncertainty. When school cafeterias close, thousands of children lose their most reliable source of nutritious meals. This is where Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin steps in. Did you know? - 1 in 9 people in Eastern Wisconsin face hunger. - Summer is one of the most challenging times for families struggling with food insecurity. But together, we can make a difference! Here are three impactful ways you can help: ?? **Donate Food**: Non-perishable items like canned fruits, vegetables, and proteins are always in high demand. Check your pantry or organize a neighborhood food drive. ?? **Donate Cash**: Every dollar donated helps provide meals to those in need. Even a small contribution can have a huge impact. ?? **Volunteer**: Join us for a volunteer session at one of our food banks. Whether you’re sorting donations or packing boxes, your time and effort make a big difference. If you're inclined to take action and help us ensure that every kid in our community has something to eat this summer, please visit www.feedingamericawi.org to learn more about how you can help. Let's ensure that no one in our community goes hungry this summer. Together, we can fight hunger and provide hope. #SummerHunger #EndHunger #CommunitySupport #FeedingAmericaEasternWI #Volunteer #Donate #FoodMemories
