| February is Black History Month and we're celebrating Black leaders, volunteers, and neighbors. Black-led partners and organizations power community-based solutions that address hunger at its roots. This work is critical, as 1 in 4 Black people in the U.S. experience hunger, almost twice the rate of white people.
Feeding America's Food Security Equity Impact Fund has invested over $20 million in partner organizations, like Ivy's, led by people of color to drive community-focused solutions to hunger.
Sofia, who works at the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank, shared her thoughts at last year's Elevating Voices: Power Summit, which brought together our neighbors with lived experience of hunger to find out what prevents people from getting enough to eat—and what we can do about it. Check out the Elevating Voices: Insights Report to learn what we found.
Black farmers often face challenges that other farmers do not due to discrimination and inequitable business practices. That's why it's so important to invest in Black-owned farms so they can help provide food for their community. This Black History Month and every month, we invite you to celebrate the ingenuity and strength of the Black community, and Black leaders' contributions in the movement to end hunger. Thank you. — Feeding America P.S. Want to help support programs like these? Make a gift to Feeding America today. |
