Georgia's Division of Child Support Services Hosts First Annual Food Drive

January 23, 2017

Georgia's Department of Human Services (DHS), Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) hosted its first annual interoffice food drive last month. Employees were encouraged to bring in non-perishable food items, such as peanut butter, tuna, soup, and canned fruits/vegetables, to help provide meals for their neighbors in need.

Together they collected nearly 100 pounds of food- that's the equivalent of 80 meals!

Atlantic Relocation Systems of Atlanta, an Atlas agent, provided boxes for the event and volunteered to pick up and deliver the collections to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. AtlanticRelocationSystems_logo

Nearly 1.8 million Georgia residents are food insecure, including 1 in 4 children. A big thank you to our friends at the DHS, DCSS and Atlantic Relocation Systems of Atlanta for taking the time to help fight hunger in your community.

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.
