NO ONE should have to deal with food insecurity and its detrimental effects. Disproportionately and overwhelmingly many of those experiencing this inhumanity are members of MY community. Volunteering with Summaeverythang allows me to directly fight this injustice on their behalf. I view my action as a response to blatant inaction, similar to the Black Panthers’ “Free Food Program”, one of their most noted “Survival Programs”.

It’s “survival pending the revolution”...
