Feeding America and French’s Partner to Provide Meals to People Who Struggle with Hunger

Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, and French’s have teamed up for a national effort to help children and families who struggle with hunger. For every specially-marked bottle of French’s Mustard sold through Nov. 30, and specially-marked bottles of French’s Ketchup sold through Dec. 31, one meal will be donated to the Feeding America nationwide network of 200 food banks.

More than 48 million people in America struggle with food insecurity, including 15 million children—at a life stage when food is critical to healthy growth and development. Food insecurity is defined as a lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life, according to the USDA. It is an issue that affects every single county in our country.

“Food insecurity all too often goes unseen, but every day, millions of people in America are faced with insufficient food for themselves or their families,” says Diana Aviv, CEO of Feeding America. “Through this partnership with French’s, our nationwide network of food banks is better able to help fill this gap. This initiative not only helps to bring national attention to the massive problem of hunger in the U.S., but also provides everyone the opportunity to fight hunger in their local communities.”

Partnering with companies like French’s, which has made supporting local communities a core part of its business, is crucial in combatting food insecurity. With the public’s support, French’s will raise the equivalent of 12 million meals to support the Feeding America network and the millions of people it serves throughout the country. For every specially-marked bottle of French’s Mustard and Ketchup purchased, shoppers will help to secure one meal on behalf of a Feeding America member food bank in that community. Qualifying French’s products bear the Feeding America logo in stores nationwide.

”We’re proud to continue our partnership with Feeding America, an organization whose work aligns so closely with our mission to help and support our communities,” says Elliott Penner, president of The French’s Food Company. “Our French’s Promise is about giving people products with real ingredients, a taste they love and ensuring we’re helping our communities, including making sure everyone has enough food to eat.”
