MorganMyers is Committed to Help the Fight Against Hunger
During Hunger Action Month 2023, we recognize that hunger remains a challenge for many Americans. Feeding America states 34 million Americans are food insecure and 1 in every 8 children worries where their next meal will come from. With so many Americans lacking the means to feed their families, it’s important we all do our part to help fight hunger.
Taking Action for Hunger Action Month
At MorganMyers, our work centers around supporting those who play a vital role in food production — farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, food companies and other brands along the food supply chain. We also feel passionate about supporting better food accessibility for those in need. Ending hunger has been a long-standing cause at MorganMyers. This Hunger Action Month, we’re sharing where we’ve made an impact, plus how others can join the fight, too.
Feeding America Contributions
For more than a decade, we’ve made annual donations to Feeding America. Feeding America is a nonprofit group that strives to end hunger in the United States. They work hard to give food to people who need it, using many food banks and pantries. We donate to help their mission and provide meals to people struggling with food insecurity nationwide.
Did you know just $1 donated to Feeding America can provide 10 meals? Consider donating today for Hunger Action Month.
Local Food Pantry Donations
We feel passionate about ensuring hunger needs are met in the communities right where we live and work. For the last few years, we’ve donated ground beef raised by farmers on the MM team to the Waukesha Food Pantry and the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. We’ve also volunteered our time at these locations to help fill backpacks for school kids, put together holiday packages and more.
Want to support your own local food bank or food program through donations or by volunteering? Find one near you.
Join the Fight Against Food Insecurity in Your State
The fight against hunger can’t be done alone. Every effort, big and small, is needed. We’re asking farmers, food companies and people across the U.S. to help us fight hunger. Here’s how you can get involved:
- Donate to Local Food Banks: Consider making a monetary or food donation to your local food bank or food pantry. Every contribution makes a difference.
- Participate in Food Drives: Support or organize food drives in your community. Encourage your friends, family and colleagues to participate. Nonperishable food items are always in demand.
- Volunteer Your Time: Many food banks and pantries rely on volunteers to sort, package and distribute food. Consider giving your time to help those in need.
- Spread Awareness: Share information about Hunger Action Month and food insecurity on your social media platforms. The more people are aware of the issue, the more support we can generate.
As we observe Hunger Action Month 2023, remember that fighting food insecurity is a collective effort. MorganMyers is committed to making a difference, and we invite you to join us in this important cause. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a more food-secure future for all.
