Kellogg donates $75,000 to Nourishing Neighbors Initiative

Kellogg Company has donated $75,000 to Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors Initiative, a scheme that supports hunger-relief efforts of food banks, pantries and charities in communities.

As part of Albertsons Companies “Feed the Love” promotional campaign, the money will reportedly allow approximately 300,000 meals to be given to those in need.

“Kellogg’s customers are some of our strongest allies in our efforts to create better days for those facing hunger,” said Michael Ross, Customer Team Lead, Kellogg Company.

“We aspire for a world with zero hunger and that can only happen when we work together.”

Food security currently exists in every county in the US and is something that Feeding America says affects more than 34 million people.

“We’re proud to be one of the largest contributors to food banks and hunger-relief programs in the neighborhoods we serve, and we’re able to do this because of our generous customers like Kellogg Company.”
