Important viewpoint for everyone that puts on outdoor events in winter. “Accessibility can also mean something softer, more personal: being capable of participating fully without discomfort, fear, or exhaustion. Weather affects this aspect, particularly for fans with mobility challenges.”

This got some motion on Facebook, so I am reposting here.

xo your friendly hunger relief comms guy
I work at a food bank—think of it like Costco. We get massive amounts of food for cheap. Whole truckloads of apples, bags of cereal, things like that. Unless you’re General Mills (thank you for your service) we don’t need your food donations. But we have a lot of buying power, so we will take your money. You buying one can of beans for a dollar doesn’t make sense when we can buy a pallet for cents a can. We provide food to food shelves—the term food shelves or pantry comes from churches who would have a small little area for parishioners to pick up food. It’s a much more advanced model now, as there are many stories of food shelves that started in church basements that now resemble grocery stores. They do their own sourcing (like picking up excess from grocery stores) and get food from food banks. They will also take your money! But each one is different—they might have room for donations. Check social media. Needs change constantly. There are lists that go around that are like “every food bank needs xyz” & that is not true. Again, they’ll get a better deal on bulk food so money is always a move! The loss of SNAP benefits is going to drive more and more folks to use their pantries and food shelves. We refer to this as the “emergency food system” but, uhhh, we are living in emergency times all the time! These systems are stressed & will be even more so. There is enough food in this country to go around. The cost is getting food where it’s needed & right now it just isn’t.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
