In our 2023 Annual Report, we take a look at trends at FISH over the past few years, particularly comparing pre-pandemic numbers to today. What we are seeing is continued growth in need, as the high cost of living paired with fewer support resources adds more and more strain for families. One area in which we have seen considerable increases is the pounds of food we distribute each year. In 2023, FISH distributed 1,560,603 pounds of food, more than any other year in our history as an organization. Our marketplace could not run without the generous support of our community. We source food from four main sources: donations from our Broomfield grocery stores and restaurant partners, Community Food Share, in-kind donations from our neighbors (which includes food drives!), and purchased food made possible by our incredible donors and by grant funding. All of these support networks allow us to stock a variety of food and personal care items for our families so they can shop for what their families need.

🎈 Digital Communications Creations is celebrating another anniversary! Raritan Food Pantry (RFP) launched their website three years ago shortly after the opening of their needs-based food pantry in Raritan, NJ. The dual-language website receives an estimated 2K visitors annually and features necessary information for the pantry's volunteers and those seeking assistance in English and Spanish. Many of our community members are facing food insecurity, so it's important that those in need can easily access and understand the services available to them. RFP's non-profit funding is designated for basic operating purposes, leaving no room for any other spend. As with any business, a website has become a necessity, so it was a special opportunity for DCC to be able to donate the site's initial development and to continue to support RFP by donating the site's annual maintenance fees, totaling $1,500 over the three year period, to keep it up and running, ensuring it continues to provide necessary information to the community. DCC believes non-profit organizations are an integral part of any thriving community. Having the opportunity to support this vital organization to enhance their presence is key to achieving the DCC mission. #digitalmarketing #smallbusinessmarketing #njfoodbank #smallbusinessmarketing

Microgreens are packed full of nutrients, and together we can help make these foods accessible to those struggling the most. We aim to place indoor farms in areas experiencing hunger or food insecurity and teach these communities how to grow their own food. We can make a difference, together! . . . . . . #healthyfood #childhunger #foodinsecurity #nonprofit #endhunger #genzforchange #givingback #donationideas #donations #indoorfarming #verticalfarming

One of the many benefits of working for Ellucian is the opportunity to spend some of my time completing charitable acts, and this time I focused on ‘The Trussell Trust (Stop UK Hunger)’ I involved both of my children in the event to educate them on how the soaring cost of living means more people are being pushed to crisis point and forced to use food banks and that food banks rely on goodwill and support. We learnt that ‘The Trussell Trust’ network of food banks provides emergency food and compassionate, dignified support to people locked in crisis. Over 90% of the food distributed by food banks in the Trussell Trust network is donated by the public so food donations are absolutely vital to be able to give everyone referred to them a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food. Without goodwill, Trussell Trust food banks would really struggle to operate. Wearing our Ellucian purple T shirts we collected food from our local community and took it to one of many food bank drops all over the UK. The food bank we went to had completely empty shelves and so once we deposited our collected food we then went shopping picking out items on the list of ‘priority items needed’ and returned to the food bank to add these to the shelves. Thanks again Ellucian for enabling me to take time to learn and support a charity whilst also helping our future generation form fundamental skills of ‘giving back’ and understanding they can make a big difference to the lives of others, all of which I hope they continue to take forward in life. #Ellucian #Charitabledays #Giving #Educatingthefuture #ellucianlife #Thetrusselltrust
