P&G Joins TIME101 To Recognize Feeding America’s Impact Serving Communities

Happi Top 50 Company Procter and Gamble joined Time Magazine in recognizing Feeding America as this year’s TIME101 recipient.

Each year, alongside the TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people, TIME101 honors an organization or individual making a meaningful impact in their communities. As one of the nation’s largest hunger-relief organizations, Feeding America provides vital access to food assistance and everyday essentials including products from P&G brands like Always period care products, Crest toothpaste, Bounty paper towels and Pampers diapers – helping millions of people across the US find solace.

Nourishing Communities Across America

According to Feeding America, 48 million people in the US experience food insecurity and the health, economic and social challenges that can come with it. Rooted in the voices of neighbors facing hunger, Feeding America unites communities through a nationwide network of more than 250 food banks, over 20 statewide food bank associations, over 10 regional co-ops and more than 60,000 agency partners, to ensure everyone has access to food and a thriving future.

One example of this local impact can be found at the St. Louis Area Foodbank, a member of the Feeding America network. Through its no-cost Food On The Move program, the organization brings a mobile grocery shopping experience directly to neighbors experiencing food insecurity, delivering food and household essentials where they’re needed most. Designed to help people access food in a way that feels respectful and empowering, the program has delivered more than 1.6 million meals over the last five years alone. Food On The Move is one example of how local action, supported by a national network, can transform lives and strengthen communities.

“With the help of organizations like the St. Louis Area Foodbank, everyone can get an opportunity to live their best possible lives,” said Meredith Knopp, CEO of the St. Louis Area Foodbank.

P&G brand Cascade partners with Feeding America and supports the St. Louis Area Foodbank’s Food On The Move Program, bringing food and household essential items directly to communities facing food insecurity. The dish detergent brand recently celebrated its 70th anniversary by partnering with Feeding America to provide one million meals to people experiencing food insecurity. Through the program, every coupon downloaded for Cascade Platinum Plus helped provide 10 donated meals, giving consumers an opportunity to support individuals and families facing hunger while saving on trusted products.

“We’re proud that Cascade has earned that trust for 70 years, and it’s what inspires us to care for families in ever bigger ways, including helping provide meals to people facing hunger through our partnership with Feeding America,” said Angelica Matthews, brand vice president, North America Dish Care at Cascade.
