This holiday season, Circle K is partnering with Feeding America to donate over 1.4 million sandwiches, burgers and burritos among other items to affiliated food banks and food pantries.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, over 47 million Americans, including nearly 14 million children, struggle with food insecurity.

"Families feel an extra burden this time of year as they balance their everyday household and food costs with added holiday expenses, and they should not have to choose," said Mette Uglebjerg, Circle K Senior Vice President Global Food and Marketing. "Feeding America plays an essential role year-round in helping families in need stay nourished, and we are very proud to support their efforts and our communities, especially during the holiday season.”

Circle K will work with the Feeding America network of local food banks and partner agencies this month to distribute this donation.

“Food brings us together, especially during the holidays. This season, we’re grateful for Circle K’s partnership to help make the holidays full and ensure everyone can bring meals home,” said Linda Nageotte, Feeding America’s President and Chief Operating Officer.
