It was a busy May! Last month, with our partners at FedEx and #FedExCares, we’ve handed out 400 boxes of food for families and nearly 3,000 backpacks filled with school supplies and hygiene items at four events across the US. Thank you FedEx for all your support and volunteers who made it possible!

Feed the Children is proud to announce our wins in the 45th annual Telly Awards! Our team did an amazing job communicating the stories surrounding the work we do and the people we serve with compassion, clarity, and a clear passion for their craft. We were able to take home 12 Telly Awards, in recognition of two of our seasonal public service awareness videos. "This year, we set out to share new perspectives on childhood hunger. We want to show how hardships like food insecurity are all around us and to remind everyone that taking one small step together today can build lasting impact for tomorrow," said Chris Gard, Feed the Children's Vice President of Marcom & Creative.

At Feed the Children, we don’t just work with corporations – we forge connections with partners who share our commitment to their communities and to ending childhood hunger. We’re proud to work with Americold Logistics, LLC., who chose to celebrate the opening of their new facility in Russellville, AR, with a Feed the Children Resource Rally to provide food to over 300 local families. After the ribbon cutting, each family received a 25-pound box of food and a 15-pound box of essential household and hygiene items.🍎

Great news from Newnan, GA! We partnered with Niagara Bottling to help distribute food and essentials to 400 families served at One Roof Outreach. Each family received a 25-lb box of food and a 15-lb box of personal hygiene items and essentials. Almost 10% of Newnan’s population lives below the poverty line. Events like this can play a huge role in making sure people have everything they need for their daily lives. This is just the first of many events to look forward to this year with Niagara!
