Company matching public donations to Feeding
America® now through Thanksgiving
For the sixth year in a row, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. is
matching donations to Feeding America® now through Thanksgiving.
Every dollar (up to $250,000) given to Feeding America as part of
the campaign will help provide 22 meals to families and individuals
who face hunger – which amounts to twice the impact of a standard
dollar donation. These contributions will support Feeding America,
the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization with a
network of 200 member food banks across the country, including
areas recovering from the destruction caused by recent hurricanes.
Members of the public are invited to contribute by visiting:
www.supportfeedingamerica.org/Ameriprise.
“Food insecurity is a real and persistent problem in our country
that’s only exacerbated when disaster strikes,” said Brian Pietsch,
head of community relations at Ameriprise. “Feeding America and its
network of food banks are there when people need them most. We’re
grateful for the work they do and encourage everyone who’s in a
position to help to join us in supporting their efforts.”
In addition, Ameriprise pledged a separate $100,000 grant split
equally between Feeding America and the American Red Cross in
support of hurricane disaster relief. The firm is a longstanding
supporter of both nonprofits through corporate grants, employee
gift matching and robust volunteerism programs aimed at helping
people in need and building stronger communities.
