Churchill Apartments Springs in Action

April 15, 2020

When most of the country was starting to shut down, Churchill Apartments in Minneapolis held steady to complete their Spring into Action Food Drive. The RMK Management property collected 150 pounds of food to donate to a local Twin Cities food bank. Boulevard Moving & Storage of Minnesota, part of Suddath Relocation Systems and United Van Lines, assisted with the food transportation.

The food could not have come at a more critical time as unemployment continues to skyrocket and businesses are temporarily shutting their doors. It’s estimated that 17 more million people will be food insecure in 2020 for a total of around 54 million. 

Roughly 1 in 9 people in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area is struggling to get food. Churchill Apartments and other communities like Churchill Apartments are helping fight this crisis one food drive at a time.

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.
