Here's a great way to double your impact on this #GivingTuesday!

Help Fight Summer Hunger! As summer approaches, many families struggle to find nutritious food when school meal programs are unavailable. ?? Why This Matters: Over 1 billion meals are thrown away each year due to confusing date labels. By supporting clearer food date labeling, we can reduce waste and provide meals during critical moments. Our Commitment: Move For Hunger has delivered over 39 million meals by rescuing surplus food and partnering with moving companies, real estate professionals, and supporters like you. Get Involved: 1?? Sign the Petition ?? https://lnkd.in/gdv8UfzW 2?? Spread the Word: Share this message with your network. 3?? Donate: Just $1 provides 3 meals ?? https://vist.ly/3a26c

It’s not one safety net, it’s a multitude of safety nets that keep food insecure households fed.

Ahead of Sunday's #SuperBowl, here's a look at how U.S. Food Waste Pact signatory Aramark helps reduce #foodwaste at the #KansasCityChiefs stadium in KC. Says Aramark's Tim Witkowski: “Although our goal is always to eliminate food waste before it is generated, there may still be instances when we have excess safe-to-eat food available. Our food donation program provides this food to hunger relief agencies, like Pete's Garden, who distribute meals to organizations that serve families with children. We donate thousands of pounds of food each year, which helps feed families in the Kansas City community and keeps surplus prepared food out of landfills.” If you're hosting family and friends for the game, make sure you've got a plan to keep the food you serve from going to waste – only serve what you know will get eaten, have plenty of containers for people to take food home with them, and make sure you've got space in your refrigerator or freezer for leftovers ?? https://lnkd.in/eNqPp6f3

Did you know that instead of purchasing food at retail rates, we collaborate with the California Association of Food Banks, major retailers, USDA government assistance programs, growers, distributors and fellow food banks to secure wholesome food? When you contribute financially, you enable us to offer a greater quantity of nutritious groceries compared to donating store-bought food. ?? Thanks to our capacity to harness large-scale food donations, bulk purchasing capabilities, and the dedication of volunteers, every $1 donation empowers us to supply enough food for two meals. Help us fill tables this holiday season and beyond. If we can raise $1,000,000 from our community between now and December 25, The Benificus Foundation will match the amount.

The Feeding America network consists of food banks, pantries, meal programs, state associations, and the Feeding America national organization and works together alongside communities to end hunger in America. RSI and DOE Legacy Management contract teaming partners Amentum and TFE are contributing $300,000 to Feeding America to support nine communities adjacent to LM operations. The funds will support nearby food banks in the Feeding America Network. The communities receiving support from the donation include Monongalia and Preston counties, West Virginia; Pinellas County, Florida; Navajo and Coconino counties, Arizona; Grants, New Mexico; San Miguel County, New Mexico; Grand Junction, Colorado; Westminster, Colorado; Hamilton County, Ohio; and St. Charles County, Missouri. #FeedingAmerica
