Tyson Foods is reinforcing its commitment to help end hunger with a $2.5 million donation to Feeding America partner food banks. Additionally, in honor of Hunger Action Month, the food company is donating 2.5 million pounds of protein, the equivalent of 10 million servings of protein, to ensure equitable access for communities experiencing the highest rates of food insecurity. Tyson estimates that 4 ounces of protein equates to one meal.
"People are working hard to provide for themselves and their families, yet one in 10 Americans experience food insecurity, including nine million children,” said Erika Thiem, chief supply chain officer at Feeding America. “Tyson's continued partnership, and their focus on equitable access, brings us one step closer to an America where no one is hungry.”
