Suite America Collects 1,000+ LBS. During Thanksgiving Food Drive!

March 7, 2019

Suite America hosted a Thanksgiving Food Drive from November 1-30 at their corporate office in El Dorado Hills, California, as well as six of their branches across the United States.

Their clients were encouraged to donate non-perishable food items for their neighbors in need. Throughout the Thanksgiving season, they collected 1,371 lbs. of food, which equates to 1,142 meals for people in need! Our friends at Mother Lode Van & Storage, a North American Van Lines agent, brought the donations to their local food bank. In addition, the D.C. location of Suite America hosted a fundraiser in conjunction with the food drive and collected $225!

Suite America has been an official partner of Move For Hunger since 2014. We are so thankful for their constant support in helping fight hunger and food waste in the United States!

More than 41 million people, incuding 1 in 6 children, in the United States are food insecure. Thank you to Suite America, Mother Lode Van & Storage, and North American Van Lines for helping out in your communities!

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.
