Move For Hunger and Harris Teeter's partnership to hold the Fill-A-Truck food drive was once again a huge success! On September 28th, at four different Harris Teeter locations, movers BERGERALLIEDparked their empty trucks in the parking lot and waited for community members to come fill it with donations. The day long event ended up receiving thousands of pounds in donations collectively. We would like to give a huge thank you to all of our dedicated movers for making this event possible!

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.

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.
