CHICAGO, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — National partners of Feeding America are supporting neighbors facing hunger during this busy holiday season. Several Feeding America partners, including Amazon Fresh, BMW, Crate & Barrel Holdings, Inc., Food Lion, Fresh Thyme, Giant, Maverik – Adventure’s First Stop, Mission Driven Foods, Monro and T-Mobile are giving back to help people who may not know where they will find their next meal.
