Plexus Worldwide announced it has donated over 35 million meals to families experiencing food insecurity as part of its Nourish One initiative. Nourish One is a partnership with Feeding America and global partner, Mary’s Meals. T
More than 34 million people, including 9 million children, experience food insecurity in the United States, the company stared. Programs like Nourish One are critical in helping provide food banks and community programs with the resources needed to support families and individuals.
“People often think of hunger in the United States as something far removed from their lives,” says Alec Clark, President and Founder of Plexus Worldwide. “But food insecurity affects every community in the U.S. These are people in our towns – people we know and people we care about.
Plexus began its Nourish One initiative in 2018, partnering with Feeding America to help provide meals to Americans who experience food insecurity.
For employees at Plexus, the Nourish One Initiative goes beyond donations. In 2022, over 160 employees volunteered at local food banks in the Phoenix Metro area, part of the company’s commitment to getting involved at every level.
Plexus also kicked off an effort for local food banks, with the first taking place at North Texas Food Bank in Plano. During the event, 75 Brand Ambassadors volunteered, packing 22,000 meals. In addition, Plexus made a matching donation to the organization. The company has plans to launch 6 more events this year.
