“With 34 million people in America not knowing where their next meal will come from, the need to help feed and fulfill continues,” said Meigan Goodwin, customer team lead – Albertsons, Kellanova. “Through our Kellanova Better Days Promise, we’re committed to feeding people in need, and we’re proud to partner with United Supermarkets to support those facing hunger in our communities.”

From hunger programs to clothing closets to cost-free healthcare options, the organization works to provide hope and the tools to break the cycle of poverty and build a stronger future for those in need.
