ARLINGTON, Va. – In conjunction with today’s “White House Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities Kickoff” event, FMI – The Food Industry Association BB #:162464 is pleased to highlight the industry’s commitments and efforts underway in addressing hunger and improving nutrition and health spurred by the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health convened in September 2022.
As part of the pledges and announcements made surrounding the White House Conference and the National Strategy, FMI’s members committed to achieving ambitious goals that address food and nutrition insecurity as well as support the health and well-being of American shoppers, including donating at least two billion meals in 2023 to food banks and other non-profits that feed people in under-resourced areas and sharing evidence-based messages and educational tools that align with the American Dietary Guidelines (DGAs), reach at least 100,000,000 consumers by 2023
FMI members have increased their food donation efforts, and improved their health and well-being programs nearly six months after the White House Conference. This includes increased food donations and financial contributions to Feeding America.
