OneGenAway Wrapped 2022
We experienced a lot together in 2022. Let’s take a look at what we did TOGETHER!
Children are hungrier than adults
Food insecurity disproportionately affects children. Your first thought may be, “Are there parents out there not feeding their children?” Let’s talk about what the statistics really mean.
Serving rain or shine
At OneGenAway, we serve in the rain, but we don’t just mean the times when water is falling from the sky.
Help us make an impact in 2023
As we look towards a new year, we would love for you, your company, your church, or your club to become a sponsor and help us wipe out hunger in your community.
Supporting and empowering superheroes
A woman we’ll call Pamela fancies herself superwoman, but she knows even superwoman needs support from time to time.
Many partners make for life-changing work
Some of our partners support us with resources, but there are countless others who help us take food to places we can’t easily reach or provide avenues for us to obtain the food our community needs. This kind of behind-the-scenes work deserves a spotlight.
Brad, Mark, Connie, Kathy, Bobby, and so much more — we’re thankful for volunteers!
This Thanksgiving season, we want to give a special thank-you to our volunteers.
You are a gift!
Amid food shortages and escalating costs, 2022 has been a year of growth and a year of challenges. But one thing remains constant: You!
