We’ve been feeling the giving spirit here at SodaHQ, so this year we made a plan. November 22 through November 24, we’re donating 15% of our profits to Feeding America to help feed our communities! Stop by Monday, November 22, through Wednesday, November 24, and grab yourself a drink and treat while helping fight hunger. Read on to learn more about what Feeding America is, the services it provides, and other ways to donate.
What is Feeding America?
Feeding America is a nonprofit organization with the mission to fight hunger in the United States. It is a network of food banks, pantries and meal programs that serve 40 million people in the U.S.! There are four main facets that support its mission: food rescue, foods that nourish, food safety and food security.
Feeding America partners with the food industry across the entire spectrum—from farmers to retailers—to collect food to distribute before it goes to waste. The organization also works with these groups to secure foods that are nutritious and can help provide a well-rounded diet for those in need. This looks like providing foods beyond the usual non-perishable canned foods, and keeping those perishable foods like produce and lean protein safe for consumption. And on top of all that, Feeding America keeps going! It leads the nation in hunger research and advocacy.
Why Feeding America?
After much research into different organizations and charities, we kept coming back to Feeding America and its goal to end hunger in the United States. It is consistently given top ratings by Charity Navigator for Overall, Financial, and Accountability & Transparency—meaning we knew we could trust that all donations would actually go towards the cause. Upon further looking into Feeding America, we were blown away by all the programs and ways it serves the communities our stores are in, as well as the entire nation, and knew this was the place to give.
Ways to Donate
The number one way to donate is to treat 👏🏻 yo 👏🏻 self 👏🏻 November 22-24 at your favorite Sodalicious location. If you’re really feeling the giving spirit when you stop by, you can also add an additional donation on top of your order right at the register! Or, you can scan the QR code at the drive-thru window to donate directly to Feeding America through their website. (or click here!)
We can’t wait to see how you all show up to help fight hunger, and can’t wait to share how much we are able to raise together after the week is over! See you soon, Soda Fam. ♥️
