Plastic container specialist Ifco has revealed its support for the Growing Forward with Feeding America campaign, which launched at the beginning of the year.
Growing Forward is a year-round cause marketing campaign committed to helping end hunger in America through donations of fresh fruits and vegetables to local Feeding America food banks nationwide.
This cause is particularly important to Ifco, which supports food banks around the world through ongoing donations of reusable plastic containers (RPCs) as well as financial support.
As part of Ifco's commitment to the Growing Forward campaign, the company will donate 10,000 RPCs this year alone to various Feeding America member food banks. The donation of RPCs provide food banks with the necessary tools to sustain a consistent, safe supply of fresh produce while ensuring that the fruits and vegetables distributed among the Feeding America network are received in the best quality possible.
“Ifco is heavily involved with food banks around the world, donating RPCs to help protect the fresh foods donated by our supplier partners and others. We currently donate RPCs on the local level in North America, but the Growing Forward campaign offers our company an opportunity to focus and expand our efforts,” said Daniel Walsh, President of Ifco North America.
The partnership will be announced this month at an annual Ifco function in southern California. Melissa McDill, campaign coordinator for Growing Forward, will be in attendance to speak more on the cause.
“Ifco is a leader in our industry and we’re excited to be working together in the fight against hunger,' she noted.
