US Foods exceeds $35 million for COVID-19 hunger relief

ROSEMONT - US Foods Holding Corp. said it has donated more than $35 million in food and supplies since March to fight hunger during the COVID-19 pandemic, the equivalent of approximately 17 million meals.

Throughout the year, US Foods worked closely with its longtime partner, Feeding America, and other local charitable organizations to ensure foods and other supplies were distributed to food banks across the country, as these charities struggled to keep their shelves filled.

"As we look back at 2020, I am grateful we have been able to support so many organizations whose mission is to help others," said Pietro Satriano, chairman and CEO, US Foods. "The impact of COVID-19 has been felt far and wide, and our charitable partners have worked tirelessly to meet unprecedented demand. As we continue to face the challenges brought on by COVID-19, our commitment to fighting hunger will continue into the new year and beyond."

The company has partnerships with about 60 Feeding America food banks across the country that have benefited from ongoing donations.

Rosemont-based US Foods is one of America's largest food companies and a leading food service distributor, partnering with approximately 300,000 restaurants and food service operators to help their businesses succeed.
