A small but mighty Krusteaz Co. team pulled together in FIERCE fashion to sort over 20,000 pounds of cabbage at Food Lifeline in under two hours last week. That's a lot of cabbage folks! A tremendous amount of teamwork and coordination went into making this happen. In just a few short days, food banks around our area will be receiving the 30-pound boxes of cabbages to deliver to food insecure families. The efforts of volunteering at Food Lifeline have immediate impacts in our local communities and that is one of the many amazing benefits of being part of this work. It's a great feeling to know we had a part in helping to keep the food pipeline flowing! Thanks for everything you do Food Lifeline team!

In recognition of today’s Hunger Action Day in Palm Beach County, Rales JFS employees participated in the #SNAPChallenge this month. By living only on the average daily SNAP allowance benefit, participants found themselves forced to make food shopping choices on a limited budget and attempted to stay healthy without adequate resources. Rales JFS Chief Operating Office, Beth Levine, described living on $9 a day for four days to be a significant challenge, requiring careful meal planning and budget shopping. Breakfast consisted of oatmeal ($1.35/day) and tea ($0.25/day). Lunch included hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes ($2.75/day). Afternoon snacks were apples ($2.49/day). Dinner options varied between Publix chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, chicken breasts, and cauliflower, totaling $15.90 for four dinners. As a result, the four days' expenses came to $34.79, with much hunger experienced in the evenings. Family does not let family go hungry. Be a part of the solution by contributing to the Jacobson Family Food Pantry at http://ralesjfs.org/donate or by donating non-perishable goods to Rales JFS.

We have a story in the latest issue of Neighbourhood Media detailing all the work we do via Addison Road Food Pantry Camperdown, our low-cost grocery store which makes use of rescued, donated and purchased food to support the local community and its needs. The story (link below) shows how we help feed people from Mission Australia's Common Ground housing project and the nearby Johanna O’Dea Court, a multi-storey NSW Family and Community Services apartment block. It also explains how we serve people living on a tight budget in Camperdown and Glebe, as well as people who come to the pantry from right across the City of Sydney LGA. Most of all, the story is a celebration of our monthly Addi Road 'Let's Get Cooking' sessions (AKA "the Cook-Up"), which offers 260 free hot meals for Mission Australia and Joanna O'Dea residents, as well as those shopping at our Addi Road Food Pantry Camperdown. These sessions involve a monthly cooking demo inside the Common Ground building. Food literacy is the ultimate goal behind Addi Road's Let's Get Cooking program. As well as simply providing a free hot meal (and dessert) each month, we look at helping people to shop AND cook with often very limited funds. Each month there are easy recipes on offer (and ready to be tasted) along extra tips for stocking people's kitchen cupboards; a list of essentials to facilitate simple, inexpensive and nutritious recipes that will match whatever Addi Road Food Pantry might have in stock. It's about building an integrated food ecology for people battling. With a few extra special ingredients over a shared meal as the community comes together: camaraderie and connection. + #Addiroad #cityofsydney #foodrelief #foodjustice #housing #inequality #Camperdown #Glebe #MissionAustralia #homeless #battling #costofliving #poverty #resilience #mentalhealth #wellbeing #nutrition #diet #charity #community #freemeals #cookingworkshop #volunteers #caring #education #connection #letsgetcooking #neighbourhoodmedia https://lnkd.in/gs7vVEvM

AuDHD modern day philosopher, writer and editor, non binary, trying to find my place in a world where I’m not “enough” anything to really belong
I recently visited a local food bank. It is a food bank that picks up produce at a local grocery store. They used to pickup meats near expiration too. They have freezers and as an under-supplied, overburdened food bank, the need is definitely present. In the last six months the same grocery store stopped discounting meats to 50% and started only discounting them to 30%. I know for a fact this has led to greater discard of expired meat. They no longer allow the food bank to pick up near expiration meats. People who wouldn’t be able to afford those foods in the first place, imaginary profits and losses that never existed are their “reasoning” for throwing food away instead. People in need are not the enemy. People in need aren’t hoarding their money greedily and eagerly waiting at the donation doors. The (potential) merger of Albertsons and Fred Meyer terrifies me. They’re already coordinating their sales to justify “see we’re competing with each other and will keep doing so if you let us merge” What all shoppers have realized? Their prices were heavily inflated since first word of this merger to allow “sales” that don’t lose them a penny. Grocery prices are already unattainable for many and only worsening.

In the case of all social good movements - it's grassroots organizations banding together and communities supporting one another that is going to shift cultural attitudes. At Replate, we think of other nonprofit FROs as potential collaborators, not our competition! A rising tide lifts all ships!
