Zero Hunger

Sysco Corporation announced today the launch of a new “Foodservice Doesn’t Brake for Adversity” campaign designed to help small foodservice businesses stay in business.

Plan for #GivingTuesdayNow on 5/5 with resources for companies, nonprofits, and donors at www.charities.org/givingtuesdaynow.

Several of our plants are now making food, boxing it up, and sending it straight to Feeding America. The organization is providing it to its network of 200 member food banks, food pantries and meal programs.

Recently, some Massachusetts and Rhode Island shelters and food banks have gotten a little help in a big way thanks to Amazon, Sysco, and the Patriots Foundation.

Our Bourbon Street Café, Events & Hospitality, and Community Relations teams have partnered to assemble and distribute approximately 2,000 bagged lunches each day, for a monthly total of nearly 40,000 meals.

With urgent need for both food donations and volunteers stemming from COVID-19, General Mills – in partnership with Feeding America – is announcing two new initiatives to help address these challenges.

The donation of over 10 million pounds of protein to food banks nationwide builds upon Smithfield’s recently launched “Good Food Challenge” to raise awareness and increase support for Feeding America in this critical time of increased need.

Sysco announced it has donated more than 13.5 million meals over the last four weeks across the global regions where it operates as part of its community response strategy to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Partnering with long-time supporters Hess Corporation and Sysco, Second Servings announces the “Dinner’s On Us” Program focused on providing take-home chef-prepared family meals to furloughed and unemployed hospitality workers in Houston.
