Kraft Foods addresses food insecurity in US

Rebecca Prescott31 Jul 2012

Kraft Foods Foundation and Feeding America are rolling out 10 new mobile pantry vehicles to reach those hardest hit with food insecurity – African-American and Latino populations.

With the help of Feeding America and local food banks, this minority outreach mobile pantry programme will deliver food to underserved neighbourhoods.

Many of these neighbourhoods are food deserts – areas where residents might not have access to grocery stores and emergency food assistance. The mobile pantry trucks will deliver nine million pounds of fresh produce and mealtime staples to families each year.
