DeKalb County Schools are kicking off the new school year on August 1 with a community initiative to distribute 3,000 backpacks filled with school supplies and 5,000 boxes of fresh food, including produce and chicken, in partnership with local organizations. Similarly, VGTNYC is conducting a city-wide food drive with doorstep pick-up services and matching donations to support City Harvest, aiming to alleviate food insecurity in New York City. The Food Bank of Northern Indiana is also organizing mobile food distributions throughout August, providing free pre-boxed items to over 1,400 families. In Florida, Farm Share is addressing food insecurity by distributing food via drive-thru events, collaborating with local farmers to recover surplus produce. These initiatives highlight a collective community effort across multiple states to combat hunger and support families in need as they prepare for the upcoming school year.
