MINER, Mo. (WSIL) -- Casey's is partnering with a national charity and donating millions of meals across the Midwest and South in an effort to feed those who are food insecure.
Casey's said there are more than 47 million across the country who face food insecurity and they are doing their part to help feed millions.
Casey's launched their annual campaign on February 26, and partnered with Feeding America. A Casey's representative said they will help provide 10 million meals to families in the Midwest and South.
The meals will be distributed by nearly 60 food banks, which includes the SEMO Food Bank in Miner.
鈥淎t Casey鈥檚, we believe in the power of community. Our guests and team members are dedicated to fighting hunger in their very own neighborhoods,鈥� said Ena Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Casey鈥檚. 鈥淚n partnership with Feeding America庐 and Celsius, and with the generosity of our guests, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in Casey鈥檚 Country 鈥� especially rural areas 鈥� who may not have access to the food and resources they need to thrive.鈥�
Casey's is also allowing their customers help out as well. Customers who shop at Casey's will have the option to round up on any in-store or purchase.
"The movement to end hunger can succeed when we all work together to ensure that everyone has the food they need to thrive," said Lauren Biedron, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. "Neighbors experiencing hunger in rural areas face unique challenges such as limited transportation, low wages, underemployment, and long-term inequities that affect food access. With Casey's support and continued commitment to our mission, they are helping to connect food banks and neighbors with the food they need no matter where they live or who they are."
