George Mason Canstruction

George Mason Canstruction - Crown Relocations D.C.

During our nationwide campaign with college campuses called Collge CanFest, George Mason University in Fairfax, VA played host on February 12th to the Canstruction GMURGB Food Drive. The premise of the event is for student groups to accumulate non perishable food items and then they build a structure with the items. It is a very common event on college campuses that always turn out to be loads of fun while helping the hungry at local food banks.

Move For Hunger was more than willing to provide its resources to help transport the food collected and with the help from Crown Relocations in D.C. the event was nothing short of successful.

From a NASA rocket to a shooting star and other great canstructions, the event brought in a total of 7,180 pounds of food which is enough to make about 5,500 meals! Our many thanks go to the students of George Mason University for letting us witness their creativity.

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.
