Feeding America Takes Role In Fighting Food Insecurity

Keith Mirchandani has served as president and CEO of Tristar Products Inc. since founding the direct-to-consumer business in 1992. In May 2021, Keith Mirchandani’s company donated 1.5 million meals to Feeding America to help support its mission to end hunger.

Feeding America is a nonprofit started in 1973 by John van Hengel to ensure that no one in America lacks food. The nonprofit, whose headquarters in Illinois, Chicago, has 200 food banks spread across America that feed close to 50 million people.

Due to Covid-19, food insecurity in America went up. About 42 million Americans (1 in 8), including close to 15 million children (1 in 5), turned to food banks to get something to eat on their tables. Feeding America stepped up and used its extensive food bank network to distribute 6.1 billion meals in 2021. To put this in perspective, 6.1 billion meals is enough to feed the entire US population breakfast, lunch, and supper for six days.

In 2022, Feeding America expects food insecurity levels to remain higher. They intend to continue working to achieve their vision of an America where everybody has access to a nutritious meal daily. You can support their efforts by making donations on their website.
