Thermo King recently teamed up with its network of dealers and customers to donate $15,000 to Feeding America food banks in Orlando, Florida, and Kansas City, Missouri, through its We Move Food program.
“We are committed to delivering freshness and making our world a better place,” said Adam Wittwer, president, Thermo King Americas. “We are incredibly humbled by the impact We Move Food continues to make in communities and our industry thanks to the amazing support of our dealers and customers. The program helps us address the food instability challenges that exist where we live and work, and the need is great as 1 in 8 people continue to face hunger.”
This latest donation will help the Orlando and Kansas City food banks address the more than 869,000 collective people impacted by hunger in the counties they serve.
Thermo King collected the money for its donation to Feeding America’s Harvesters–The Community Food Network from on Sept. 23 and 24 at the IFDA Solutions Conference in Kansas City. Thermo King sponsored a Cool Down Lounge at the event for visitors to unwind, learn more about We Move Food and show their support to end hunger by adding their name to a special donation wall. Thermo King donated $3 for each visitor and presented a $5,000 check to Feeding America’s Harvesters by the end of the event.
On Sept. 25, Thermo King of the Southeast presented another check for $10,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
Thermo King’s We Move Food program is designed to increase access to fresh healthy food by reducing waste and supporting nutrition education for families and communities that struggle with hunger and food instability. The We Move Food program also provides nutrition education through Feeding America’s mobile food pantries.
