Happy Giving Tuesday!! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this platform who has liked, shared, or commented on our posts– it has genuinely made a huge difference in our growth this year. As the founder of this organization, I've witnessed firsthand the staggering disparity between food excess and scarcity in our country. Nearly 40% of our food supply goes to waste, while simultaneously, 44 million Americans face the challenge of food insecurity. At Sharing Excess, we're dedicated to solving this paradox by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to communities in need. Our mission is not just about providing food; it's about revolutionizing food sharing to overcome the logistical barriers that often hinder food rescue and redistribution. I know you’re probably being bombarded with Giving Tuesday requests from many amazing organizations– but we need your support. I hope that our work stands out as being a highly impactful use of your donations today, as we are able to provide 160 meals for every $10 donated. Your contributions will enable us cover the costs of transportation and allow us to partner with grocery stores, wholesalers, and farmers, ensuring that perfectly good food reaches those who need it most, rather than ending up in landfills. Every donation up to $10,000 is matched today thanks to a generous donor. No worries at all if you can't donate, even sharing this post helps a ton. Much love and thank you all for your continued support and generosity. Here's the link to donate: https://lnkd.in/gqPKHQAQ #GivingTuesday #EndHunger #FoodRescue #Nonprofit #SharingExcess

Food insecurity should be top of mind for all people

September is Hunger Action Month! 🥕 Trellis for Tomorrow operates under a principle we call “Dignified Exchange”. This model engages members of our community and empowers them to reclaim control over their access to food. Put simply, Dignified Exchange allows community members to offer something of value in exchange for their produce. In some cases, people choose to exchange money, while others exchange family recipes, volunteer in the garden, or help spread the word about our programs. This model allows us to move beyond a charitable relationship and into a true partnership with the community. The market value of an average weekly delivery of produce is $30. To help cover the costs of this community program, we provide the space for donors and supporters to make a gift at https://lnkd.in/ekqpPaaw. We can all play a role in ensuring access to healthy food for all. Explore the many ways you can participate in our Dignified Exchange at linktr.ee/trellis4tomorrow.

Volunteer: A few hours of your time can stock a shelf, sort food, or distribute food at a neighborhood distribution. Giving Tuesday is all about radical generosity. Will you extend your radical generosity to help end hunger in Dakota County? To help provide relief to families in need? Because everyone deserves access to healthy food.
