The Gallery Residential Brokerage Sinks Their Teeth Into A Shark Week Food Drive

August 2, 2018

Sorry Bruce, looks like fish are, in fact, food! Throughout Shark Week (July 22-29), The Gallery Residential Brokerage held food drives at their offices in Wall and Asbury Park, NJ to collect cans of tuna in honor of the fish-themed week. And what’s not to love about tuna? This fish is kid-friendly, rich in vitamins that strengthen the immune system and helpful in lowering blood pressure. It also happens to be one of the most requested food items at food pantries nationwide.

All donations were delivered by Lowy’s Moving Service, a Wheaton agent, to Fulfill. The Gallery Residential Brokerage’s donations will help provide meals to the more than 108,00 people, including 1 in 8 children, who are food-insecure in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

No one likes to waste perfectly good food, especially not sharks! There’s no better way to honor Shark Week than to take some time to raise awareness about food waste and take action to fight hunger in the local community! Thank you to everyone at The Gallery Residential Brokerage for joining us in taking a bite out of hunger this summer!

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.
