people experiencing food insecurity in America
Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) today
announced the company raised more than $350,000, equivalent to more
than 3.5 million meals*, to combat food insecurity during Hunger
Action Month in September. Through SAIC’s partnership with Feeding
America®, SAIC’s contribution will provide meals to people in need,
address food waste and promote awareness of the issue of hunger in
America.
“Our employees not only raised funds for those facing hunger,
they volunteered in their communities to raise awareness about food
insecurity,” said Nazzic Keene, Chief Executive Officer at SAIC.
“Each year, our organization looks forward to Hunger Action Month,
because it’s an opportunity to come together and make an impact to
help those who are struggling to secure food for their families. We
have partnered with Feeding America for nine years and each year, I
am more and more thankful for our employees and their dedication to
end hunger in America.”
SAIC employees contributed more than $174,000 through a variety
of creative fundraising activities and direct donations. SAIC also
made corporate donations in addition to employee’s contributions.
Employees also took the initiative to raise awareness about food
insecurities in their local communities by volunteering at local
food banks and food pantries, many of which are members of the
Feeding America network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries
and meal programs.
“One in 10 individuals face hunger in the U.S., including one in
eight children. Feeding America is thankful to SAIC and its
employees for helping to provide millions of meals to families in
need through their Hunger Action Month efforts,” said Lauren
Biedron, vice president of corporate partnerships at Feeding
America. “For nearly 10 years, SAIC has been committed to helping
communities facing hunger across the country and we’re grateful for
their partnership.”
Partnerships with organizations like Feeding America, are part
of SAIC’s Citizenship and Community Relations program. Through this
program, SAIC builds upon the talent, creativity and passion of its
employees and their families to give back to local communities.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 118.5 million
households in America suffered from food insecurity in 2021. Visit
