Kellanova donates $50,000 to support the national grocer's Feed the
Love hunger relief campaign
CHICAGO, Feb. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fourth year in a
row, Kellanova and Albertsons Companies, one of the largest food
and drug retailers in the United
States, are teaming up to show love to the communities they
serve and address the ongoing issue of hunger and food
insecurity.
Kellanova is donating $50,000 to
Albertsons Cos. Foundation's Nourishing Neighbors charitable
program benefiting the hunger-relief efforts of food banks,
pantries and hunger-relief charities in communities served by the
Albertsons Cos. family of stores including Safeway, Albertsons,
Vons, ACME and Shaw's.
The donation is part of Albertsons Cos. Foundation's "Feed the
Love" in-store promotional campaign during the month of February
and will enable partner charities to provide approximately 200,000
meals to those in need.1
"Kellanova is incredibly proud to continue this important and
impactful partnership with Albertsons Cos. for the fourth
consecutive year," said Carrie
Sander, North America chief
customer officer, Kellanova. "Our customers are some of our
strongest allies in our efforts to fulfil our Better Days Promise
to tackle sustainable and equitable access to food."
Food insecurity exists in every county in the United States, affecting more than 44
million people, including 13 million children. In 2022, 49 million
Americans relied on food assistance.2
"Albertsons Cos. and Kellanova share the belief that everyone,
especially children, should have access to nutritious food every
day," said Christy Duncan Anderson,
president and executive director, Albertsons Cos. Foundation.
"We're proud to be one of the largest contributors to food banks
and hunger-relief programs in the neighborhoods we
serve3, thanks to our generous customers like
Kellanova."
Kellanova's donation is part of its Kellanova Better Days™
Promise social and environmental strategy, which aims to create
#BetterDays for 4 billion people by 2030.
