Ameriprise-sponsored events will provide
more than 1 million meals to people in need
On June 15, more than 4,000 Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE:
AMP) employees, advisors and clients will work together to provide
food for families and individuals in need. The volunteers will
prepare, sort and serve meals at over 200 company-sponsored events
across the country in an effort to help the 41 million Americans,
including nearly 13 million children and five million seniors,
struggling with hunger.
“People who are food insecure often have to make the difficult
choice between food, medical bills, housing and other necessities,”
said Brian Pietsch, head of community relations at Ameriprise. “And
families who lose access to subsidized school lunch programs during
the summer can face even more pressure to make ends meet. This
hunger gap is a reality for far too many Americans, and that’s why
we’re so humbled to be able to do our part to help.”
Ameriprise is a longstanding supporter of domestic hunger-relief
efforts through its nine-year partnership with Feeding America®,
the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. Each year, the
company and its volunteers provide more than 1 million meals to
families and individuals across the country through volunteer
efforts with non-profit organizations.
