Casey’s invites guests to join the fight
against food insecurity across the heartland.
Casey’s and Celsius® are teaming up with Feeding America in the
fight against hunger. Starting today through April 2, Casey’s
guests can round up at the register to participate in this annual
campaign, supporting children and families impacted by food
insecurity across the Midwest and South.
Since the start of their partnership in 2020, Casey’s and
Feeding America have donated over 30 million meals thanks to their
dynamic collaboration and guest donations. This year, Casey’s is
committed to helping provide 10 million meals*. With support from
Celsius, all funds raised by Casey’s guests will support 56 Feeding
America affiliated food banks across the 17 states Casey’s calls
home.
Food banks have reported increased pressure from the growing
number of people experiencing food insecurity, all while feeling
the compounded effects of continued food supply disruptions and
increased food and transportation costs. More than 44 million
people in the United States, including more than 13 million
children, are food insecure. The Feeding America network of 200
food banks across the country distributed more than 5 billion meals
each year in 2022 and 2023 with the support of dedicated partners
like Casey’s.
“Casey’s is at the heart of local communities across our
footprint,” said Ena Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Casey’s.
“As food insecurity remains a real challenge, particularly in the
rural communities we serve, we are taking meaningful action to help
families in need. With the support of Feeding America, Celsius, and
our guests and team members, we’ll help provide millions of meals
to our neighbors who need them the most this year.”
Guests can join the movement to end hunger with Casey’s and
Feeding America by taking these actions:
- Shop and Round Up at Casey’s: Guests can round up their
purchases at the register the next time they visit their
neighborhood Casey’s.
- Order online at Caseys.com: When ordering Casey’s
handmade, delicious pizza or other Casey’s favorites, guests now
have the option to add a donation at checkout.
- Cheer on Casey’s athlete partners: In March, for every
slam dunk by the University of Tennessee’s Jonas Aidoo, every steal
by the University of Arkansas’s Devo Davis, and every three-pointer
by the University of Iowa’s Gabbie Marshall, Casey’s will donate
50,000 meals to Feeding America, up to 1 million meals total.
“Hunger is closer than you think. Anyone can experience food
insecurity regardless of their background, race, or ZIP code, and
it is more common in rural areas,” said Lauren Biedron, Senior Vice
President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “We are
proud to join hands with Casey’s to address the escalating hunger
crisis and thank them for their support in ensuring our neighbors
have access to the food they need to thrive.”
As a key Casey’s partner, Celsius is supporting the campaign
with a donation that will enable 250,000 meals.
“Casey’s partnership with Feeding America helps families in need
have access to essential meals and nutrition, and Celsius is proud
to participate in its efforts to raise money for this charitable
cause,” said Paul Wiseman, Senior Vice President of Communications
at Celsius.
