Gables Corporate Accommodations Fights Summer Hunger Across the U.S.

September 23, 2016

Gables Corporate Accommodations held a food drive at four of its locations - Boca Raton, Dallas, Atlanta, and Denver - from July 18th-September 2. Thanks to their selfless dedication, the four offices collected a total of 450 pounds of food – that’s 375 meals provided to families in need! gables_logo

Atlanta: 62 pounds = 51 meals

Boca Raton: 75 pounds = 65 meals

Dallas: 190 pounds = 158 meals

Denver: 123 pounds = 102 meals

The drive would not have been possible without the help of our moving partners:

The collections in Atlanta, GA were moved by Atlantic Relocation Systems of Atlanta, an Atlas agent, and delivered to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

The food collected in Boca Raton was picked up by Beltmann Relocation Group of Pompano Beach and delivered to Boca Helping Hands.

The collections in Dallas were moved by IMS Relocations and donated to the Carrollton Friendship House.

The food collected in Denver were be picked-up by Colorado Hi-Tec Moving & Storage Inc., a Wheaton agent, and donated to the Food Bank of the Rockies.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our friends at Gables Corporate Accommodations and each of our moving partners for all their hard work and dedication towards fighting summer hunger in their respective communities!

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.
