Fall Challenges and Opportunities
By Marge Higgins |
As always, thank you for your continued support of MUM’s work! We continue to see a steady increase in the numbers of people calling and coming to our office for food and to apply for emergency financial assistance. The numbers seeking food at our monthly mobile food pantry also continue to grow–we served 287 families in August and over 260 in September!
What we are seeing at MUM is consistent with the experiences of others throughout our region and across the country, as reflected in the Capital Area Food Bank’s Hunger Report 2023 (Hunger Report 2023 - CAFB Hunger Report (capitalareafoodbank.org) and Feeding America’s 2023 Elevating Voices to End Hunger Together: Insights Report (Elevating Voices | Feeding America), released during Hunger Awareness Month in September.
Amid these challenges, we continue to get support from Montgomery County, food banks, and farmers … and of course from you. Read more and discover fun and special community events coming up where you can continue your support of MUM.
