FOOD DISTRIBUTION | 3 THE IMPACT OF HUNGER

During The Unknown From Crisis SACRIFICES TO AFFORD to Stability BASIC UTILITIES

In early 2019, while the food bank continued to serve those impacted by Hurricane Michael, Feeding the Gulf Coast responded to another form of crisis. The most prolonged U.S. Government HOSPITAL VISITS Shutdown in recent history led to INCREASE individuals and families in our community experiencing hunger for the first time due to missed paychecks. After five long weeks of uncertainty, many furloughed workers resumed their jobs. The reality of how thin the margins EDUCATION DELAYS DUE TO are between stability and financial ruin LACK OF FOCUS remains etched in their minds. Many clients we serve would be unable to feed their children if they faced an unexpected crisis, such as a $400 car repair or medical bill. The people we serve make these tough choices and more on a daily basis. The impact of hunger can be long-lasting as sacrificial decisions lead to educational development delays and chronic medical consequences. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN, WE HAD A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS THAT NEEDED HELP. WE WERE STARTING NOT TO GET OUR PAY AND During the five-week U.S. Government STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT WHERE WE WERE Shutdown, the food bank was able to GOING TO GET OUR GROCERIES FROM.

Ongoing Support Rebuilding, Meal By Meal

Displaced by Hurricane Michael, Ashley and her family of six spent several months residing in various hotels, trying to stay as close as possible to her husband’s job. “I’m a mom, and not being able to provide for your kids is very terrible,” said Ashley. “It’s been a horrific experience. It’s been a blessing to have any help.” In 2019, the food bank continued working to rebuild and establish hope in the communities affected by Hurricane Michael. The food bank participated in various efforts in impacted counties building sustainable partnerships to move the progress forward. Recognizing the need for basic supplies like food, Bay District Schools reached out to Feeding the Gulf Coast for a new partnership to benefit children impacted in the county. Pop-up pantries and four school-based food pantries for students and staff were set up to put food into the hands of needy families.
