"As America’s largest food company, we know it can be a challenge for Americans to put nutritious, balanced meals on the table. We’ve partnered with Feeding America for nearly 30 years to help our neighbors in need. We’re proud of initiatives such as the Kraft Foods Mobile Pantry program, which delivers fresh produce and meal-time staples to high-need neighborhoods, and “Huddle to Fight Hunger,” which inspires communities across the country to get involved in the cause. Together, we’re making a real difference in the fight against hunger."
Irene B. Rosenfeld
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
We’re pleased that Kraft is awarding Feeding America $4.5 million dollars over the next three years to purchase and operate up to 25 mobile pantries. By making an average of three trips a week, each mobile pantry can distribute the equivalent of 1,143,042 meals annually to Americans who might otherwise go hungry. Over the next three years, as these vehicles are deployed across our Network, it is estimated that they will provide more than 50 million meals to those in need.
This donation builds on Kraft's long-standing commitment to fight hunger and partner with Feeding America. Over a quarter of century, Kraft has provided nearly $770 million worth of support in cash and product.
