Soft-baked snack brand Nature’s Bakery is continuing its ongoing partnership with No Kid Hungry by committing $150,000, more than 100,000 snack bars and 2,500 school supply kits to communities nationwide. It is joined by Ardent Mills, which also contributed to the cause.
Nature’s Bakery’s expanded efforts demonstrate its continued commitment to addressing food insecurity and supporting children’s nutrition programs across the United States.
“We’re proud to support No Kid Hungry’s mission to help end childhood hunger in America and with the support of partners like Ardent Mills, who joined us in contributing this year, we’re able to deepen our impact and support organizations that share our commitment to helping families flourish.” said Pilar Arellano, SVP of marketing, Nature’s Bakery.
“The support from partners like Nature’s Bakery is what fuels the critical work of No Kid Hungry,” said Managing Director of Corporate Partnerships Allison Shuffield of Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. “Especially during this critical time as millions of kids head back to school, we are grateful that together we can make sure every child has the meals they need to thrive.”
Nature’s Bakery’s $150,000 donation to No Kid Hungry can help provide 1.5 million meals to children. Donations help support programs that feed kids; No Kid Hungry does not provide individual meals. Meal equivalencies vary. Learn more at NoKidHungry.org/OneDollar.
Nature’s Bakery also will distribute snacks and school supply kits to communities where the company’s teams live and work, ensuring direct impact in their local areas. Each 45-piece school supply kit includes essential items such as folders, notebooks, pencils, pens, colored pencils, scissors, erasers, glue sticks, crayons and highlighters – everything students need for academic success.
