Project Wee Care Collects 38,000 Pounds of Food!

January 30, 2017

Daniel's Moving & Storage, an Atlas agent, partnered with the Millard Business Community Foundation to hold the annual Project Wee Care, an event designed to collect food, clothing, and gifts for families in the Omaha area.

Their "2016 North Pole" site for this food drive was generously donated by New Generation Construction.

The event was an enormous success, as 38,000 pounds of food and other necessities were collected!

We thank Daniel's Moving & Storage, the Millard Business Community Foundation, New Generation Construction, and all of the volunteers whose generosity helped so many during the holiday season.

There are more than 245,000 people in Nebraska, including 1 in 5 children, who face hunger each day. Efforts like Project Wee Care can help your neighbors make ends meet. If you want to host a food drive in your community, we'd love to  help!

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.

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.
