USA: Circle K donates 25 million meals to local food banks

Convenience store chain surpasses Feeding America meal donation goal and increases pledge to 40 million meals.

Circle K announced a milestone achievement in its efforts to support Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Following a pledge made on April 10, 2020 to provide meals for fuel transaction made at a Circle K, the brand has surpassed its goal of donating 25 million meals to local food banks across the country.

“We are proud to have reached a donation of 25 million meals through our partnership with Feeding America, and to extend our support to 40 million meals in this time of tremendous need in our communities,” says Brian Hannasch, President and CEO of Circle K. “I want to thank all of our employees and customers for being part of the solution in the communities where we work and live, and for helping Circle K make it easier for so many families in need during these difficult days. As we are all in this together, I am grateful we can turn to them to reach this new goal of 40 million meals.”

Following the initial success of its campaign to support Feeding America, Circle K intends to continue the fuel-based initiative at all of its locations in the United States, as more than 37 million people are currently faced with hunger.
