Crossfit Delirium Fights Hunger At Its Core!

January 27, 2016

Motivated by the Thanksgiving spirit, Caitlin Bantel and the team at Crossfit Delirium were searching for ways to benefit their community this holiday season. 

With the help of Move For Hunger, they hosted a food drive event at their gym in Eatontown, NJ beginning on November 4th.  By January 1st, the team had collected 134 pounds of food! This is 112 meals for those suffering from food insecurity in their community.

Once the drive came to a close, Lowy's Moving Service, a Wheaton agent, generously delivered the collection of food to The Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

1 out of every 10 individuals in Monmouth County is unsure of where their next meal is coming from. The staff at Move For Hunger would like to applaud Crossfit Delirium, Lowy's, and everyone who was involved for trying to make a difference in their community. Additionally, we would like to thank everyone for their engagement in the cause.

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.
