Ikea is collaborating with Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization, to sponsor an in-store program, Feeding the Future, which runs June 1–30, to support local Feeding America member food banks.
Through the Feeding the Future program, Ikea U.S. will donate $1 to local Feeding America food banks for every healthy kids meal purchased in any Ikea U.S. restaurant.
Additionally, Ikea customers can give a $1 donation to their local Feeding America network food bank at all Ikea store registers at cash lanes, customer restaurants, Ikea Bistros, and Swedish Food markets.
"Every day, millions of Americans, including children, are struggling with hunger. Ikea U.S. is dedicated to supporting our local communities and customers by supporting our local food banks. Collaborating with the Feeding America network, along with our commitment to healthy eating, benefits many in need," said Samantha Giusti, Ikea U.S. community affairs manager.
"As the school year is coming to an end, most families and kids are planning their summer activities. Unfortunately, many others are planning where their meals will come from when the National School Lunch program closes for summer. That's why Feeding America is grateful for the ongoing support of our partners at Ikea U.S. and their commitment to helping children and families in need," said Nancy Curby, senior vice president, corporate partnerships at Feeding America. "We are excited to continue our partnership with the Feeding the Future campaign this summer and know that it will make a big impact on the people we serve across the country."
