Storing Food In Hamilton's House To Help Feed Those In Need

July 30, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a number of logistical challenges for our nation's food banks and pantries. Transportation and warehousing have been key among them. Recently, Move For Hunger has been working with GoGo Squeez and the Sloatsberg Pantry, in New York State, to help deliver food to assit hungry children in the area. The pantry let us know that they were running at full capacity, and were having difficulties making deliveries for the hundreds of meals they provide each month.  Not only was their warehouse full of food, but they'd also utlized, and filled, Alexander Hamilton's former estate to help store food donations coming in.

They joined the food pantry in offering consistent transportation support to help move meals out of the warehouse faster and into the hands of those who need it most. We're grateful for all the incredible transportation partners, like Clancy, who have generously donated trucks, drivers, and volunteer resources to assist during these challenging times.

 


The COVID-19 Pandemic has left a massive economic impact and has drastically increased the need for emergency food assistance nationwide. Move For Hunger is actively searching for ways to meet the demand, but we're going to need your 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. 

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.
