Brandon Moving & Storage Holds 3rd Food Drive of 2018

May 3, 2018

Brandon Moving & Storage, a Bekins Van Lines agent, has done it yet again! Just one day after they held a Fill-A-Truck outside of the Wal-Mart in Clinton, the crew was back at it, this time at the Cost Plus supermarket in BrandonCostPlusFoodDrive2018_April6-250x333.jpgConway. More than 1,560 lbs. of food was donated, bringing their total for the weekend to 3,320 lbs. of food - that's enough to provide 3,000 meals! All of the donations were delivered to the Community Action Program for Central Arkansas (CAPCA).

In Faulkner County, Arkansas, nearly 20,000 individuals experience food insecurity. This includes a staggering 1 in 5 children. The efforts made by Brandon Moving & Storage are sure to help these people in need. We are proud to partner with such a dedicated company!

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.
