The company’s annual match campaign will help
provide 5 million meals to families and individuals experiencing
hunger
For the 12th consecutive year, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE:
AMP) will match donations to Feeding America® (up to $250,000) to
help the more than 34 million people in America who lack consistent
access to food to live healthy and comfortable lives. With the
Ameriprise match, each dollar donated through October 31 will help
provide 20 meals* (double the standard donation) to families and
individuals in need. Participation is easy and open to the
public: visit www.feedingamerica.org/ameriprise to
give online.
“Food insecurity is a persistent issue that impacts every
community across the country,” said Brian Pietsch, head of
community relations at Ameriprise. “Feeding America is a powerful
and efficient nationwide network of local food banks that serves
millions of individuals and families. They partner with retailers,
farmers and manufactures to get food to people who need it while
simultaneously working to address the root causes of hunger. We are
proud to support their mission and encourage all who can to
participate in our matching campaign.”
Since establishing a partnership with Feeding America in 2009,
Ameriprise advisors, employees and clients have helped provide more
than 121 million meals and volunteered more than 384,000 hours to
support Feeding America and other hunger-relief organizations
nationwide. The Ameriprise matching campaign was established in
2010 to encourage additional donations to Feeding America. In
total, the campaign has helped provide approximately 227 million
meals to people facing hunger across the U.S.
In addition to the matching campaign, Ameriprise is partnering
with Feeding America for its 14th annual National Days of Service,
which will be on November 2, 2023. This nationwide volunteer effort
will bring together thousands of Ameriprise employees, advisors,
and clients ahead of the holiday season to help people facing
hunger.
"Millions of people are often forced to make difficult decisions
between putting food on the table or paying for other necessities
like rent, medicine or utilities. With Ameriprise’s deep commitment
to hunger relief, we are making progress on our goal to end
hunger," said Lauren Biedron, Senior Vice President of Corporate
Partnerships at Feeding America.
