Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce’s Post

Straight talk: if you want to be "better" than you are, you have to hang out with people who know more, have more, do more. More straight talk: 99% of the time it is not your family, friends or people who look like, walk like, talk like you. This is where associations of professionals, networks of people striving for more, become a foundational piece of what it takes to have success. Listen in. Our goal is to inspire you to take at least one step toward a better, healthier, more powerful - HAPPIER – you.

Doing so much for so many who need it so much.

"Remember -- your love for bacon can make a big difference!" Funny, but true. There is a serious side to this too. The Walworth County Food and Diaper Bank is a great organization, and symbolic of many which are responding to food insecurity in our communities. In our particular case our Bank serves, at some point during the year, about 5 percent of our county's population - distributing $5M of food across 16,000+ guest encounters. All of this is made possible by roughly 120 volunteers whose work seems never ending. Those we serve are primarily referred to as ALICE (asset-limited, income-constrained, and employed). In other words, neighbors in situations where one car repair, medical bill, or unexpected expense can force a difficult decision about food. A full 40 percent of those we serve in a year come only once. 70 percent receive food from us four times or less in a year. In our county, and probably yours too, up to 35 percent of our residents fall into the ALICE classification. Those are really staggering numbers when you think about them. And food for thought as well (sorry). If all those numbers seem daunting, come and celebrate some bacon with us! 😁 #foodinsecurity #foodbank #neighborshelpingneighbors
