| When we work to address the unique challenges different communities face, everyone can thrive. It's the power of community that drives the movement to end hunger forward. This Pride Month, we're celebrating our LGBTQ+ neighbors working to make sure everyone has the food they need. Judy and her wife of 25 years, Arlene, know the power of community. That's why they volunteer together at Ocean Shores Senior Center, a partner of Feeding America network food bank Food Lifeline, once a week. "We just chip in and do whatever needs to be done," Judy said. "We see grandparents and great-grandparents raising their children here. So, you just try to help them and everyone out as much as you can."
Together, Judy and Arlene do all kinds of jobs at the Senior Center, from sorting and distributing food to their neighbors to packing summer meal boxes for families and delivering them. "I can still do stuff and I want to be around people and I want to help," Judy explained. "And there's always something to do. A couple years ago, when I was dealing with rheumatoid arthritis and I couldn't move so well, I was stamping bags or putting things in bags." Whether it's volunteering at a local pantry like Judy and Arlene, advocating for policies that address the root causes of hunger, or making a gift to ensure all our neighbors have enough to eat, everyone has a part to play in the movement to end hunger. Thank you for your partnership as we work towards a future without hunger, together. — Feeding America |
