Reducing food insecurity in the communities we serve
Food insecurity is an issue that Mom’s Meals is constantly bringing awareness to and looking for different ways to combat. One of the main ways we are combating this issue is through our corporate social responsibility efforts. We are doing this in three ways:
- Ensuring equitable food access
By using connections with public, private and government sectors, we have been able to donate 52,976 meals in collaboration with CBOs through our Hunger Challenge initiative. - Supporting our communities
Nearly $268,000 worth of ingredients have been donated to local foodbanks. So far in 2024, 43,281 shelf-stable meals were also donated to local foodbanks. - Engaging employees
Mom’s Meals employees are passionate about our mission of improving life through better nutrition at home. They are constantly volunteering or donating resources. So far, our employees have volunteered for more than 500 hours for Meals from the Heartland and have donated over 9,500 pounds of food to food drives they initiated.
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we continue our passion and dedication to improving access to quality nutrition and reducing food insecurity where we live and work, and across America.
