GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan , 28 de marzo de 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Meijer anunció hoy una donación inesperada de $2 millones a 30 colaboradores fundamentales de bancos de alimentos para ayudar a combatir el hambre en sus comunidades locales. Estas donaciones concentradas generarán un mayor impacto al ayudar a los bancos de alimentos a satisfacer mejor las necesidades de aquellos a quienes sirven, consiguiendo una repercusión positiva en las comunidades de toda la región central.

"Reconocemos el importante papel que los bancos de alimentos desempeñan en la lucha contra el hambre y estamos orgullosos de apoyar a nuestros colaboradores para marcar una diferencia significativa en las vidas de quienes sufren inseguridad alimentaria," expresó Rick Keyes, presidente y director ejecutivo de Meijer. "Sabemos que existe una necesidad elevada en muchas de nuestras comunidades, y queremos hacer lo que nos corresponde para ayudar con la alimentación de nuestros vecinos que padecen hambre."

Durante 90 años, la esencia de Meijer ha sido proporcionar alimentos a las personas, mientras que la lucha contra el hambre ha sido uno de los compromisos filantrópicos de más larga data de la cadena minorista. Meijer trabaja de conjunto con todas las partes del sistema de lucha contra el hambre que incluye tanto los bancos de alimentos como las despensas de alimentos. Los bancos de alimentos son operaciones a gran escala que sirven a docenas de despensas de alimentos de menor escala, que, a su vez, atienden regiones geográficas más pequeñas. Este sistema de cooperativas está diseñado para proporcionar alimentos de manera eficiente a quienes más lo necesitan.

"Estamos sumamente agradecidos por las muestras de apoyo de Meijer a través de su donación," expresó Fred Glass, presidente y director ejecutivo de Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Inc. "La inseguridad alimentaria continúa creciendo por todo el país, y desafortunadamente, Indiana no es la excepción. Los colaboradores como Meijer generan un gran impacto en nuestra capacidad para proporcionar fuentes confiables de alimentos nutritivos destinados a los habitantes de Indiana que sufren la inseguridad alimentaria. Gracias a Meijer y su equipo por su compromiso en la lucha contra el hambre."

El agradecimiento se vio reciprocado por el Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.

"Meijer ha sido un colaborador increíble para Second Harvest por sus donaciones semanales de alimentos, que llegan a las familias a través de nuestra red regional de despensas de alimentos y programas de comidas calientes," expresó Julie Chase-Morefield, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de la organización. "Esta generosa donación nos permitirá continuar buscando alimentos frescos para nuestro programa de cajas de alimentos para ancianos que atiende a más de 1,800 personas mayores de la localidad y entrega cajas de frutas y verduras en nuestra oficina local de WIC a embarazadas y puérperas."

Los bancos de alimentos que reciben la donación son:

  • Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank
  • Central Illinois Foodbank
  • Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana
  • Dare to Care Food Bank (Louisville, Kentucky)
  • Eastern Illinois Foodbank
