Casey’s launched its annual campaign to combat food insecurity in partnership with Feeding America. Now through April 1, Casey’s will raise funds to support the movement to end hunger through register roundups and online donations. The proceeds will support nearly 60 Feeding America partner food banks in Casey’s communities.
In 2023, more than 47 million people in the United States experienced food insecurity, including nearly 14 million children. Food banks play a vital role in ensuring families and communities can bring meals home during times of economic hardship or personal crisis. In 2023, the Feeding America network of food banks distributed more than 5 billion meals across the country with support from partners like Casey’s and Celsius.
During this year’s giving campaign, Casey’s is collaborating with Feeding America and helping to provide 10 million meals, which will go directly to neighbors facing hunger.
“At Casey’s, we believe in the power of community. Our guests and team members are dedicated to fighting hunger in their very own neighborhoods,” said Ena Williams, chief operating officer at Casey’s. “In partnership with Feeding America and Celsius, and with the generosity of our guests, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in Casey’s Country — especially rural areas — who may not have access to the food and resources they need to thrive.”
Guests can join the movement to end hunger with Casey’s and Feeding America by contributing to the campaign in two ways:
- At the Register: Donate their change by rounding up on any in-store purchases at their local Casey’s.
- Online at Caseys.com: Add a donation to their online orders to Feeding America.
“The movement to end hunger can succeed when we all work together to ensure that everyone has the food they need to thrive,” said Lauren Biedron, SVP of corporate partnerships at Feeding America. “Neighbors experiencing hunger in rural areas face unique challenges such as limited transportation, low wages, underemployment and long-term inequities that affect food access. With Casey’s support and continued commitment to our mission, they are helping to connect food banks and neighbors with the food they need no matter where they live or who they are.”
As a key Casey’s partner, Celsius is supporting the campaign with a donation that will help provide 250,000 meals.
Casey’s is a Fortune 500 company operating approximately 2,900 convenience stores. Founded more than 50 years ago, the company has grown to become the third-largest convenience store retailer and the fifth-largest pizza chain in the United States.
