Ameriprise-sponsored events will help
provide 1 million meals to people in need
On June 14, more than 3,500 Ameriprise (NYSE: AMP) employees,
advisors and clients will come together to provide food and other
necessities for families and individuals in need. The volunteers
will sort, prepare and serve meals at more than 220
company-sponsored events in a coordinated effort to help the 40
million people in America, including nearly 12 million children and
5 million seniors, who struggle with hunger.
“Underemployment, rising housing prices and an increasing cost
of living contribute to the hunger issues we face in America,” said
Brian Pietsch, head of community relations at Ameriprise. “Families
who face these challenges are often forced to choose between paying
daily bills or putting food on the table – and the pressure can
intensify for those families who lose access to subsidized school
meal programs over the summer months. It’s humbling to see our
volunteers come together to help bridge these gaps and make healthy
meals available to people who need them.”
As a company dedicated to helping people prepare financially for
the future, Ameriprise understands that basic needs like food and
shelter come first on the path to financial security. That
important link between financial security and meeting core needs is
behind the firm’s long-standing partnership with Feeding America,
the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. Twice a year,
Ameriprise brings together its employees, advisors and clients to
participate in a nationwide effort to provide 1 million meals to
individuals in need and help end hunger.
