Sami Med Services Takes NASMM's "100 Can Challenge" and Collects 275 LBS. of Food

June 6, 2017

Sami Med Services, located in Cape Coral, FL, participated in NASMM's 100 Can Challenge this May and provided 230 meals to those in need.

This May was Older Americans Month and Sami Med Services, a company that provides moving services to senior citizens, participated in the 100 Can Challenge to raise awareness about food insecurity that exists among senior citizens.

"When I saw that NASMM was hosting the 100 Can Challenge again this year, right away I wanted to be part of it," said Sami Gravedoni. "I believe in giving back and helping those in need. I am looking forward to doing this each year with my company."

Frank & Sons Moving & Storage, a Wheaton agent, helped out by volunteering to deliver non-perishable food items to the Cape Coral Caring Center and the Harry Chapin Food Bank.

In 2014, 5.7 million Americans over the age of 60 were food insecure. This constitutes 9 percent of all seniors. Thanks to Semi Med Services and Frank & Sons Moving & Storage, 275 pounds of food were donated to help fight hunger.

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.
