Proud to be a corporate partner with Feed the Children
We are passionate about giving back to the communities in which we live and work. We partner with and support organizations around the globe that contribute to fighting hunger and supporting the growth and development of children and teens.
Our most significant partnership is with Feed the Children, a leading nonprofit focused on alleviating childhood hunger. In 2023, Americold and Feed the Children partnered with the City of Atlanta, Georgia, to host four community outreach events aimed at temporarily alleviating food insecurity for 1,200 local families. At each event, 300 families each received a 25-pound box of food, a 15-pound box of essentials, and a box of fun children’s activities. Community partners were also on-hand at each event to share information about support services and programs that are available to families.
