Beacon Pointe Apartments and Townhomes named Community of the Month for June

July 15, 2023

Each month, Move For Hunger chooses a community that displays a dedication to ending hunger. Beacon Pointe Apartments and Townhomes has been awarded Community of the Month for June 2023!

Beacon Pointe Apartments and Townhomes, located in Baltimore County, Maryland, collected 1,500 lbs of food for their Spring Into Action Food Drive, which will provide about 1,250 meals to those in need within their local community. Special thanks to Fincor Construction for making this valuable connection!

“Participating in a food drive specifically with Move for Hunger is a powerful way to give back to our community,” said Marge Walker, Property Manager of Beacon Pointe Apartments and Townhomes. “Donating non-perishable food items can help feed those who are experiencing food insecurity, especially in the summer months when children are home from school. Everything helps and contributing to a local food drive is a great way to help local families. Moreover, it can inspire others to take action and create a ripple effect of kindness and generosity. Overall, giving back can make a significant difference in the lives of others and promote a sense of unity and compassion within our community.”

Beacon Pointe Apartments and Townhomes, an MCB Real Estate Property, is one of Move For Hunger’s newest multifamily members.

Walker continued, “Giving back is important because it allows us to make a positive impact on the community in which we live/work. By donating time, money, or resources to those in need, individuals can help improve the lives of others and bring about positive change. Giving back can help address societal issues and promote greater social responsibility and empathy for others.”

“The team worked hard and collaborated effectively to reach our goals. Each member contributed their unique skills and expertise to make this project a success, and everyone was committed to seeing it through to completion. Through regular communication and a shared sense of purpose, we overcome challenges and stay on track. In the end, our hard work paid off and we achieved our desired outcome of more than 500 pounds. The experience brought the team closer together and instilled a sense of pride in seeing this project come to an end.”

There are almost 82,000 food insecure individuals in Baltimore County alone, with more than 1 in 8 children not knowing where their next meal comes from. We extend our heartfelt thanks to every community that has rallied alongside us in the fight against hunger.

Inflation & food insecurity are on the rise

Cuts to SNAP benefits and inflation have had a devastating economic impact and filled the lines at food banks and pantries across the country. More than 47 million Americans including 1 in 5 children are struggling with food insecurity and do not know where their next meal is coming from. 

For people of color and other minorities, the situation is even worse. Hunger disproportionately affects the Black population, the Latinx community, LGBTQ+ individuals, and more. 

USDA TERMINATES FOOD SECURITY REPORT 

September 22: The USDA announced termination of future Household Food Security Reports USDA, which had tracked hunger nationwide for nearly 30 years. The most recent data revealed that one in seven households — 47.4 million people, including 13.8 million children — were food insecure. For more than three decades, the report was been the gold standard for measuring whether a household lacks consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. “Eliminating data collection strips away the evidence that proves these programs work, where investment is needed, and who is being left out,” Crystal FitzSimons, president, Food Research & Action Center said in a statement.
