Dr. Garland Vance and Dorothy Wood Vance, the visionary founders behind AdVance Leadership. In their early 20s when they were tasked with building a leadership development program. They knew very little about leadership, but what they lacked in expertise, they made up for in curiosity. They devoured books, interviewed countless leaders, and immersed ourselves in the world of organizational development. This insatiable interest and access to an incredible network of leaders became the foundation of our journey. To that foundation, Garland added a doctorate in leadership and Dorothy earned coaching certifications in Leadership Growth and Gallup’s CliftonStrengths.

Food Insecure Households
For many families in the U.S., the past several years have been difficult. Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don’t have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household.
As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.

 

SNAP Benefits
More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.
