TRUE CITRUS PARTNERS WITH FEEDING AMERICA® FOR HUNGER ACTION MONTH® THIS SEPTEMBER

True Citrus Donates an additional 100,000 Meals This Month to Annual Nationwide Initiative to Help End Hunger

BALTIMORE, MD, UNITED STATES, September 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- True Citrus is proud to announce its continued partnership with Feeding America^® for Hunger Action Month, marking the 10th year of this impactful collaboration. This nationwide effort aims to raise awareness about hunger in America and inspire action to combat it.

According to Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization,1 in 7 adults and 1 in 5 children in the United States live in food insecure households and do not always know where their next meal is coming from. Feeding America is dedicated to engaging the country in the movement to end hunger through a nationwide network of partner food banks.

A common misconception is that food insecurity is limited to people who are experiencing poverty or unemployment. If fact, according to the USDA, two-thirds of people experiencing food insecurity are employed and just over two-thirds have incomes above the poverty line. In 2022, 49 million people from many walks of life turned to food programs to help address food insecurity for themselves and their families.

“The partnership between True Citrus and Feeding America began in 2014 and continues to make a significant impact today,” said True Citrus CEO Robert Cuddihy. “We’re proud to have donated over 12.4 million meals* to date. It’s important that everyone take action not only for Hunger Action Month, but all year to help our neighbors, community, and fellow citizens that are facing hunger in today’s America,” he noted.

Cuddihy added, “As part of our continued commitment to Feeding America’s critically important efforts, we are honored to donate the equivalent of an additional 100,000 meals for Hunger Action Month.”
