More than 3,300 Ameriprise financial advisors
and employees will make a collective impact in local communities
across the country
For the 14th consecutive year, Ameriprise Financial is
partnering with Feeding America®, the nation’s largest domestic
hunger-relief organization, to help provide meals for families and
individuals facing hunger ahead of the holiday season. On Nov. 2,
more than 3,300 of the firm’s employees, advisors and clients are
volunteering at the Feeding America network of local food banks and
other nonprofits across the country to sort bulk food donations,
stock shelves, serve meals and host food drives to make a greater
impact. The event is part of the firm’s National Days of Service,
which the company organizes twice a year to help people
experiencing hunger in communities across the country.
“In a country with an abundance of resources, 44 million people,
or 1 in 7, still don’t have reliable access to food,” said Brian
Pietsch, Head of Community Relations at Ameriprise. “The
holiday season can add additional pressure, making it an especially
difficult time for families and individuals who are struggling. For
more than a decade, Ameriprise has been dedicated to helping make
this season a little brighter by offering a boost of support to
nonprofits across the country through our National Days of
Service.”
Ameriprise Financial Advisors Make an Impact in Communities
Across the Country with Local Events
The Ameriprise National Days of Service are a rallying cry for
financial advisors across the country to engage their teams,
employees, clients and prospects to make a broader impact. One
example: Walkers & Associates, an Ameriprise Private Wealth
Advisory team that has supported the Flemington Food Pantry in New
Jersey for the past 10 years with a food-packing event.
“Giving back to our community is deeply rooted in our team
culture and reflects Ameriprise’s broader commitment to hunger
relief,” said Stephen Walker, Ameriprise Private Wealth Advisor
in Flemington, New Jersey. “This year, we’re hosting our 10th
annual National Day of Service food-packing event where we will
celebrate the commitment to helping provide meals to thousands of
families and individuals over the years. Our event last year drew
more than 100 volunteers and we’re expecting a similar turnout this
year. We’re filled with joy to bring so many people together and
help our community.”
Since the firm’s first National Day of Service in 2009,
Ameriprise volunteers across the country have provided more than
123 million meals and dedicated 385,000 hours toward hunger
relief.
