September 17, 2014

ERA First Advantage Realty decided to give the people of Newburg, Indiana more than shelter this past July. After being a Move For Hunger partner for only 3 months, the offices hosted a month-long food drive to benefit the 1 million people in Indiana who are at risk for hunger.

Local food banks struggle during summer months to stock their shelves with non-perishable food. Not only did ERA First Advantage Realty contribute to the cause, they raised awareness by hosting the event in July.

The event was held at the six locations of ERA First Advantage Realty in Newbury, Evansville, Princeton, Boonville, Henderson, and Jasper. The food drive produced 225 pounds of food, or 188 meals. The meals were picked up by Shelter Moving and Storage a local agent of Atlas Van Lines, and donated to the Tri-State Food Bank in Evansville Indiana. Hopefully, this food drive’s success will set a precedent for ERA Realty. Great job!

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.
