Solgar® Pledges To Donate Up To 1 Million Meals To Feeding America®

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Solgar^®, The Gold Standard in Vitamins with an over 70 year commitment to quality, health, and well-being, today announced a new partnership with Feeding America^®. Now through Friday, December 31, a portion of proceeds from every Solgar product sold in the US will be donated to Feeding America, up to $100,000 – a total of one million meals to people facing food insecurity.* This partnership comes at a critical time – due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, more than 42 million people may experience food insecurity, including a potential 13 million children.^± Consumers can help support Solgar's mission to provide nutrition to people facing hunger now by shopping Solgar at their local health food store or on Amazon.

"At Solgar, one of our core values has always been a commitment to the well-being of our community, and that includes giving back to people who are in need," said Abhay Patel, General Manager, Natural Products Group, The Bountiful Company. "We believe the best source of vital nutrients can be found in real food, and food and nutrition insecurities have especially been areas where we support families and our communities struggling to obtain proper nutrition on a regular basis. That's why we're thrilled to support Feeding America, and, with the help of our consumers, are dedicated to reaching our goal of proving one million meals to people experiencing food insecurity."

Through this campaign, Solgar – a member of The Bountiful Company (a Nestlé Health Science Company) family of brands – is building on previous donations by the company to Feeding America. The charity is the country's largest hunger-relief organization, helping to provide 4.6 billon meals each year to people in need. To put it in perspective, they support 200 Food Banks, 60,000 food pantries and meal programs and over 40 million people in America annually.

"Families across America are still feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and making difficult decisions on how they will put food on the table," said Lauren Biedron, Vice President, Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. "We are grateful for contributions from partners like Solgar to help us in the fight against hunger."
