Albertsons Companies Foundation is pleased to partner with Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) through our support of the Foundation for Impact on Literacy and Learning’s Explore.Act.Tell. Program, a national initiative that empowers students to address food insecurity in their communities. Through this program, students learn about the causes and effects of hunger, create and implement solutions, and share their stories of impact. One of the highlights of this partnership was the onsite service project at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Seattle, where student leaders from middle school through high school prepared snack bags for a local nonprofit, Feeding Feasible Feasts. These snack bags will provide nutritious food for children and families who face food insecurity every day. We are inspired by the passion and dedication of these young leaders, who are making a difference in their own and others' lives. Thank you for joining us in our mission to nourish our neighbors! #NourishingNeighbors #FCCLA #ExploreActTell

Re: "food insecurity" ... A record number of people have to choose between which necessities of life they can afford: nutritious food or shelter. Not surprisingly, there has been a proliferation of over-reliance on food banks. They’re unmet food needs that are exacerbated by unrelenting food-price inflation, all the while giant-grocer corporate profits and payouts to corporate officers correspondingly inflate. The more that such corporations make, all the more they want — nay, need — to make next quarterly. It's never enough. Maximizing profits at the expense of those with so much less, or nothing, will likely always be a significant part of the nature of the big business beast. Such big businesses are getting unaccountably even bigger, defying the very spirit of government rules established [at least up here in Canada] to ensure healthy competition by limiting concentrated ownership. And as the corporate officers shrug their shoulders and say their job is to protect shareholders’ bottom-line interests, the shareholders shrug their shoulders while defensively stating they just collect the dividends and that the big bosses are the ones to make the moral and ethical decisions. ....
Inspired to see Albertsons Companies Foundation and FCCLA empowering students to tackle food insecurity through the Explore.Act.Tell. Program. The onsite service project at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference is a testament to the impact young leaders can make. Kudos to these passionate students for their dedication and to everyone involved in nourishing our communities!
