As a result of these activities, more than 400,000² meals were donated.

US Foods is committed to fighting hunger across the communities it serves by providing both financial contributions and product donations throughout the year to its longtime partner, Feeding America and its network of 200 food banks, as well as other hunger-relief nonprofits across the country.

“Feeding America is grateful for US Foods’ generosity,” said Lauren Biedron, vice president, corporate partnerships at Feeding America. “From financial donations to food and support from employees, they are helping to make a difference for many communities across the country.”
