Dollar General has extended its partnership with Feeding America through a new $1 million donation, aiming to support nearly 48 million people, including 14 million children, who experience food insecurity in the United States. This contribution bolsters the retailer's efforts to assist local food banks serving more than half of all U.S. counties. The initiative focuses on expanding food access for individuals and families relying on these vital resources in communities where Dollar General operates.

Since 2019, Dollar General has provided more than $6 million in financial support to Feeding America. Additionally, in-kind food donations from the company's stores and distribution centers have yielded the equivalent of more than 90 million meals. The company calculates meal equivalents based on the USDA standard that 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal.

She stated that the milestone reflects a shared dedication to expanding food access and making a meaningful difference for neighbors depending on these resources. The partnership leverages Dollar General's extensive footprint to facilitate food rescue and distribution.

Brit Videbeck, chief supply chain officer at Feeding America, highlighted the efficiency of the network. He noted that Dollar General's generous product donations and financial support ensure that food reaches communities nationwide quickly and safely. This collaboration is critical for moving surplus goods to areas where they are most needed.
