Through a combination of surplus food donations from its stores and funds raised by the Albertsons Foundation, the supermarket retailer has set a new goal of enabling 1.5 billion meals by 2030 as part of its Recipe for Change framework. Additionally, the Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors program will invest $10 million annually to help break the cycle of hunger via initiatives including the Innovation Spark Fund program; the E.A.T. curriculum for middle and high school students; and a coalition created to tackle summer hunger.
“At Albertsons, we remain committed to fighting food insecurity in the communities we serve today while working to create lasting solutions to end hunger tomorrow, and forever,” said Jennifer Saenz, EVP of Pharmacy and Ecommerce for Albertsons and Board Chair for the Foundation in a statement. “The time for change is now as more than 44 million Americans, including 13.4 million children, face the challenge of food insecurity, and we must come together across communities to solve this hunger crisis.”
