“At Oscar Mayer, we believe in always finding a better way,
whether that means making the highest quality meats, putting a
solid car on the race track, or joining with our partners to give
back to the community,” said Matt Riezman, Associate Director of
Marketing, Oscar Mayer. “Oscar Mayer has supported Rise Against
Hunger for more than six years and this month, with the help of
volunteers and NASCAR driver Ryan Newman, we’ll roll up our sleeves
to package meals for children and families in need.”
Since 2013, Oscar Mayer and Kraft Heinz have partnered with Rise
Against Hunger to alleviate hunger in developing nations through
employee volunteerism at meal packaging events and the donation of
micronutrient sachets.
Rise Against Hunger’s mission is to end hunger by 2030, which is
also encompassed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal
2. The organization’s meal packaging events are part of a
volunteer-based program that coordinates the streamlined packaging
of highly nutritious dehydrated meals comprised of rice, soy,
vegetables and 23 essential vitamins and minerals. After packaging,
the meals are shipped to countries around the globe and distributed
to beneficiaries in critical need.
“What we want everyone to know is that hunger is solvable and is
the common thread among the world’s most challenging issues,” said
Peggy Shriver, Chief Development Officer of Rise Against Hunger.
“When hunger is targeted, you give leverage and hope to every other
cause including poverty, disease, education and the welfare of
women and children.”
“Everyone at Roush Fenway is excited to team up with Oscar Mayer
and Rise Against Hunger to feed those in need,” said Ryan Newman,
driver of the No. 6 Oscar Mayer Ford Mustang. “Giving back has long
been a common theme across everyone in the NASCAR industry, and
we’re honored to continue that with this event alongside our
outstanding partners.”
