I did a massive grocery shopping for our community fridge/pantry last week. I am planning to do it monthly.

If you see this post, I need you to ask yourself two questions:

-What can I uniquely contribute?
-What can I do right now?

That’s your to do list.

Got my #HCWvsHunger mug today, yay!

White coffee mug with red handle. The design is a red apple with a white cross in the middle. The caption in the cross reads #HCWvsHUNGER.

#HCWvsHunger friends:

Our campaign is a year ‘round effort

Many sources that protect the thin line btwn the next meal & hunger may be lost d/t funding freeze

If able, please donate and help those whose access to food may have been halted.

Families with children are most vulnerable. #KidVengers

📢 Listen: scrolling is a distraction from taking action. Pick some concrete way to help large or small every day, & get to it. I asked our public school counselor Fri what she needs in our school’s free food pantry & just bought it. Be a helper.

Caring for children, finding community in this space, being a part of #HCWvsHunger are all gifts

"It's hard to see the good these days but we can be the good." 🥰

Together, we showed up in kindness for #HCWvsHunger 🍎, to help feed people in need locally, nationally, and internationally.

There is softness in this hard world and the love we put into this world is what we make of it.
💕❤️🫶❤️💕

Shematologist, MD @shematologist.medsky.social · Dec 4

To be honest, I wasn’t sure we should do #HCWvsHunger this year.

Changing platforms, post election grief, maybe it had run its course?

Then y’all showed up.

And we raised more than ever before.

It’s hard to see good these days but we can be the good.

Thank you for being that for me 💜

Good morning and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays from me, my @hcwvshunger.bsky.social sweatshirt, and my mother’s odd-but-not-yet-creepy doll array.

So @acweyand & I didn’t time #HCWvsHunger to occur immediately before fellowship #MatchDay, but we probably should have. This is the happiest social media feed I’ve had in ages. 😃

And if you’re struggling to see the good on social media, or maybe even in the 🌎 in general sometimes, we leave you with these words:

You are most definitely the light. 👇

Remember that people are hungry every day of the year, not just during this five day #HCWvsHunger competition. Please give year round if you can. One way to do that is by visiting our merch stores where all proceeds go to anti-hunger orgs and you’ll find some great 🎁 . 👇
