MySuperFoods Company Grows Relationship With Food Bank For New York City

SUMMIT, N.J., Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MySuperFoods Company LLC has increased their ongoing commitment to child hunger with a fifty percent increase of donated funds to Food Bank for New York City in 2014.  With a social mission tied to the core of their business, co-founders Katie Jesionowski and Silvia Gianni have already donated funds to feed 20,000 people through the program in their company's short, two-year history. 

"We started this company to create nutrient dense, on-the-go, delicious snacks for our kids and kids everywhere.  At the same time, we couldn't ignore the growing population of hungry children.  According to the USDA, almost 8 million households with children are food insecure, meaning they have low or very low food security," cites Jesionowski. 

Looking for a partner with similar goals and efforts around child hunger did not take long.  MySuperFoods Company began in New York City in the summer of 2011, and shortly after it became clear that Food Bank for New York City, an organization that provides 400,000 free meals to New York families every single day, would be a great place to start.

"We were immediately drawn to Food Bank For New York City," explains Gianni "because of their strong, 30 year history, their outreach to 2.6 million New Yorkers who experience difficulty affording food, and especially their nutrition-education program "CookShop" that reaches 30,000 children, teens and adults.  The fact that they are in our back yard was a bonus."

In the past year, MySuperFoods Company has also donated to local organizations like Summit Helps Its People (SHIP) and Community Food Bank of New Jersey.  "Any time there are unused samples, nearly expired product or outdated packaging, we look for ways to reach out and help our local partners," added Elizabeth Rodriguez, Director of Sales and Marketing.
