Join the Fight Against Hunger: Winter Food Drives

As the chill of winter approaches, casting long shadows over a nation already burdened by economic hardship, a silent crisis deepens: hunger. While many of us anticipate the festive cheer of the holiday season, millions of Americans face a stark reality — the uncertainty of their next meal. 

Yet, amidst this darkness, a glimmer of hope emerges. Ordinary people, moved by compassion and empathy, rise to the occasion. They organize food drives, volunteer at soup kitchens, and donate generously to food banks. These unsung heroes, with their selfless acts, become the light in the darkest of times. 

This holiday season, let us not be mere spectators to the suffering of others. Let us be the light we wish to see in the world.

CEO REFLECTIONS

Most of us have seen photos and footage of horrific natural disaster devastation, but for the first time in my life I saw it with my very own eyes.  I worked for several days this month delivering aid, kindness and love to many hurting people living in small mountain communities that were nearly destroyed by Hurricane Helene.  Many of these people already had very little, and now they have nothing but the generosity of strangers to help get them through the winter months.   

Think about who is hurting in YOUR community.  The time is NOW to create a Food Drive on Benevolist.org. Select items from Target, Walmart and Amazon.  Help organize a collection drive for a local food bank, pantry or kitchen in your area, and use Benevolist.org to help you augment, streamline and manage your existing food drives.  Make it fun!  Make it IMPORTANT for your supporters to donate by emphatically and consistently informing them that this is for those people in your community who really need your help.

Together we can make a difference!

About Tackle Hunger

Tackle Hunger is a national nonprofit that started the signature Souper Bowl of Caring fundraiser 35 years ago to help local food charities make sure no one goes "without a bowl of soup to eat" during the coldest time of the year, around the Big Game where millions unite around sports. Thousands of groups in all 50 states participate in their free fundraising programs to support local food charities. Not only has Tackle Hunger grown to include year-round opportunities, but food charities trust their help, support and network no matter how big or small their impact. Tackle Hunger endeavors to create awareness and action so all food charities have the critical resources they need to help food-insecure neighbors.

"Food charities are on the frontline of helping their neighbors in need. They should have everything they need to meet those needs. It is important that these charities get support for this work locally, and our annual programs are one way to do that. Additionally, I work every day to find new resources and low-cost options that can help our food charity network so they don't have to turn anyone who needs help away. It is the duty of every local community to invest in its own neighbors and Tackle Hunger is here to help lead the way. We would love for you to join us." Alison Reese
