Feeding America COVID19 Relief by SHIFT

Read More About Feeding America COVID19 

Due to the COVID19 crisis, there are millions of people in the US who are unable to access food and daily meals, literally unsure where their next meal will come from. 

SHIFT Movement Science has organized a virtual gymnastics coaches summit to help raise donations for Feeding America, one of the largest hunger relief organizations in the United States.

This amazing organization helps provide meals to kids, elderly, frontline workers, and other vulnerable populations who are unable to get them during the COVID19 crisis.

By partnering with school districts and local governments,  they deliver emergency food boxes to food banks in the most hard-hit areas, assist with non-food household items like diapers and personal care products, and so much more.

"From Seattle to New Rochelle, from Baton Rouge to San Francisco, food banks across the country are doing what they do best – feeding people in need within their communities. The Feeding America network is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States including in disasters and national emergencies. 

The most vulnerable people in our communities need us now more than ever. Here's how we're responding to the challenge:

Launched the COVID-19 Response Fund, a national food- and fund-raising effort to support people facing hunger and the food banks who help them
Working with government leaders to ensure the emergency response includes strong support and flexibility for federal nutrition programs including the School Lunch Program
Partnering with school districts and local government agencies to ensure that the 22 million children who rely on school meals have access to food outside of the classroom
Building an inventory of emergency food boxes to distribute to food banks across the country as the need for food assistance increases
Providing emergency grants to food banks to support local response efforts 
Safely continuing our distribution of food and non-food and household items like cleaning supplies, diapers and personal care products
In this time of uncertainty, Feeding America along with its network of local leaders works to ensure that this pandemic does not perpetuate inequity or deepen the burdens often borne disproportionately by communities of color and low-income people. We are agile and adaptive, supporting the growing needs of the communities we serve.

Feeding America dedicates our resources, platforms, and political will to make the biggest impact on people with the greatest need. This moment is an opportunity to illuminate how we are all affected when some of us lack the protections of a safety net. By focusing on the needs of people most impacted, we can better ensure the health and safety of all communities.
