Ever wondered how a simple grocery trip could make a huge difference? This September, The Fresh Market is teaming up with Feeding America for Hunger Action Month to fight food insecurity across the nation! Your small contribution can help provide vital meals for families in need. What impact could we make together?

The Fresh Market has renewed its pivotal partnership with Feeding America, launching a crucial fundraising drive throughout September in observance of Hunger Action Month. This collaborative effort underscores a shared commitment to addressing the pressing issue of food insecurity that affects millions across the nation, aiming to provide immediate relief while fostering sustainable solutions.

The alarming statistics surrounding hunger in the United States reveal a profound societal challenge. Currently, an estimated 47 million individuals, including a staggering one in five children, grapple with the daily reality of food insecurity. This pervasive crisis highlights the urgent need for collective action and robust community support initiatives to ensure access to nutritious meals for all.

Central to this initiative is The Fresh Market’s innovative “round up your purchases” program, empowering shoppers to contribute directly to hunger relief efforts with every transaction. This simple yet impactful mechanism allows patrons to easily participate in making a tangible difference, transforming routine grocery shopping into an act of profound social responsibility.

Emily Turner, Chief Marketing Officer of The Fresh Market, emphasized the significance of this renewed alliance, stating, “We’re proud to once again join forces with Feeding America on this important initiative.” She highlighted how guest participation directly translates into meaningful assistance, reinforcing the power of collective community support.

September’s Hunger Action Month serves as a nationwide platform, spearheaded by Feeding America, dedicated to amplifying awareness about hunger’s devastating impact and inspiring proactive steps toward its eradication. During a period where the escalating costs of essential necessities, such as groceries and healthcare, strain household budgets, the urgency of this campaign is paramount.

Lauren Biedron, Feeding America’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, articulated the essential nature of such collaborations: “It takes many hands to make sure every person facing hunger gets the food they need.” She expressed deep gratitude for partners like The Fresh Market, whose dedication is vital to achieving a future free from hunger.

Beyond the immediate fundraising drive, The Fresh Market consistently demonstrates its commitment to community support through ongoing donations of unsold, quality food items to local Feeding America partner food banks. This sustained corporate social responsibility effort is critical in mitigating food waste while providing essential resources to those facing food insecurity, reinforcing a holistic approach to hunger relief.

This September, the call to action resonates clearly: join The Fresh Market and Feeding America in their resolute mission to end hunger. Through combined efforts and sustained public engagement, lasting change can be forged, ensuring that every individual has consistent access to the fundamental right of sufficient food.
