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.

The Food Pantry of Indian River County is a 100% volunteer organization assisting over 900 families per month and this holiday season the need was there. Though White Glove had participated in a food drive leading up to Thanksgiving more businesses throughout Indian River County wanted to keep the donations going.
Between Thanksgiving and December 23rd; 1,025 pounds were raised as a result of the generous donations of our growing community. Businesses like Maison Beach, Remax Associated, Maronda Homes, Florida Baptist Retirement Center, GHO Homes, Champion Home Healthcare and others hosted boxes and encouraged employees and customers to bring in non-perishable food items. White Glove Moving & Storage customers also pulled through in a tremendous way during their moves donating full pantries in some instances. The result meant hundreds of families would get interesting and fun cooking items for their Christmas feasts.
Thinking of being a box host this Spring or interested in hiring a reputable mover who gives back locally please contact Anna at [email protected] or call 772-778-4750. Happy New Year!
