“Giving back is central to who we are as a company, and we are proud to support Feeding America on a national scale. We have three business segments in the food preparation which brings this partnership close to home,” said Middleby CEO Tim FitzGerald. “Food insecurity is a real issue and through our commitment to Feeding America, we will support local efforts nationwide where our employees work and live. We are excited about this and other 2022 Middleby philanthropic initiatives to directly support our defined giving pillars.”

“We believe that no one should worry about where their next meal will come from,” said Lauren Biedron, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “We are grateful for partners like Middleby that are committed to helping our neighbors who face hunger get the meals they need.”

According to Feeding America more than 38 million people in the US are considered ‘food insecure,’ meaning they lack consistent access to enough food to live an active, healthy life. To learn more about hunger in America, visit www.feedingamerica.org.
