Real, nourishing food can be hard to find at food banks. Many donations are made up of heavily processed foods that don’t carry the nutrients of fresh, leafy greens, whole grain breads, beans, fruits and veggies. There is a common misconception that donations need to be non-perishable, but in truth most food banks are looking for the nutrient-dense foods that keep brains and bodies healthy and nourished. Call your local food bank today and ask them what they need!Help people find their voice
There are success stories and simple acts of food sovereignty that deserve to be part of the narrative. Talk about the good work that those in your community are doing. Tell their stories and cheer them on. Those who are working to survive every day may not have time or resources to make their stories known, but with your help and that of programs like WhyHunger, the narrative is changing. Storytelling is a powerful tool for change, and whether you are talking to co-workers, sharing on Facebook, or writing the stories yourself, it matters.
