2019 marks the 10th year of Ameriprise
partnering with Feeding America® to provide meals for people in
need
On November 8, thousands of volunteers from Ameriprise Financial
(NYSE: AMP) will lend a hand at food banks, pantries and meal
programs across the country to help people facing hunger in
America. More than 7,000 Ameriprise employees, financial advisors
and clients will sort food donations, serve meals, and stock
shelves at events nationwide. The volunteer day, which marks the
10-year anniversary of the company’s signature partnership with
Feeding America®, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization,
will provide more than 1 million meals for people in need.
“Though much has changed since we started the Ameriprise
National Days of Service 10 years ago, domestic hunger remains a
persistent problem,” said Brian Pietsch, head of Community
Relations at Ameriprise. “Thirty-seven million people in America do
not know where their next meal will come from. That is
unacceptable, and that’s why Ameriprise is committed to doing our
part to help.”
10 Years of Bringing Volunteers Together to Help End
Hunger Ameriprise began its partnership with Feeding America in
2009 to help food banks in the wake of the financial crisis. Since
then, Ameriprise advisors, employees and clients have provided more
than 92 million meals and volunteered more than 340,000 hours to
help Feeding America and other hunger-relief organizations provide
meals to people in need.
“Working side by side with Ameriprise over the years has helped
Feeding America provide food to individuals and families who need
it the most,” said Lauren Biedron, vice president of corporate
partnerships at Feeding America. “When you see the collective
impact of this effort, you can’t stop but think about all the lives
Ameriprise, its employees, advisors and clients have touched. We’re
excited to celebrate this milestone and look forward to many more
successful events in the future.”
Ameriprise Financial encourages the public to join the effort
to end hunger In addition to hosting its National Day of
Service, Ameriprise Financial is matching every dollar* (up to
$250,000) donated to Feeding America now through Thanksgiving. To
