In partnership with Feeding America®, Casey’s
continues to contribute to the movement to end hunger
Through its long-standing partnership with Feeding America®, the
nation’s largest hunger-relief organization, Casey’s (NASDAQ: CASY)
has helped provide 30 million meals* to people struggling with
hunger in its local communities.
Since establishing the partnership in 2020, Casey’s guests are
invited to join the movement to end hunger and participate in
Casey’s annual roundup at the register campaign supporting Feeding
America. For each dollar donated, 10 meals are distributed to
families across the heartland through the Feeding America
nationwide network of food banks. Recently the partnership between
Casey’s and Feeding America marked 30 million meals made possible
since the launch of the partnership.
“At Casey’s, our purpose is to make life better for our
communities and our guests every day – and this includes working
alongside Feeding America and the 53 local food banks we assist, to
help those struggling with hunger," said Ena Williams, Chief
Operating Officer at Casey’s. “Food insecurity and availability
present challenges for many in our communities. But through
meaningful collaboration, community partnerships and the generosity
of our guests, we will continue to make a positive impact for those
who need it most.”
"We are grateful for partners like Casey’s who are committed to
our vision of an America where no one is hungry,” said Casey Marsh,
Chief Development Officer at Feeding America. "Some of the highest
local rates of food insecurity are found in rural areas. Supporters
like Casey’s are critical to building community-led change that
improves food insecurity, particularly in areas that are
disproportionately impacted by hunger.”
Eighty-seven percent of counties with the highest rates of food
insecurity are rural, according to Feeding America. As this
challenge remains prevalent nationwide, Casey’s is committed to
prioritizing additional ways to support hunger relief efforts
across the heartland.
The company recently donated $100,000 to the Food Bank of Iowa
in Des Moines, Iowa in support of expanding its distribution
center. And this spring, Casey’s provided $30,000 to the Second
Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, enabling funds for five mobile
food distribution events in Knoxville, Tenn., and where nearly
50,000 pounds of food were distributed to local area
communities.
