Crunchtime Giving: Sharing Meals to Help the Hungry

Written by Crunchtime Team | Nov 28, 2023 3:00:00 PM

At Crunchtime, food is at the core of what drives our product, our purpose, and our passion. Working with thousands of restaurants around the world, we know the importance of sharing a meal. 

With the holidays upon us, it’s the perfect time to give back, make a difference, and share a meal.

That’s why we’re partnering with Feeding America and World Central Kitchen as part of our newly launched charitable giving initiative, Crunchtime Giving, to help give the gift of food to millions of people around the world facing hunger. Meals are all about connection and bringing people together, and every meal donated helps someone facing hunger today. 

  • Feeding America: Feeding America is a nationwide network of food banks, food pantries, and local meal programs. Their common goal is simple: help people get the food and resources they need to thrive. Everything they do focuses on getting nutritious food to communities–from sourcing food donations to advocating for policies that help end hunger. 34 million people in the U.S. are facing hunger. Many are working families, children, and seniors. Every $1 raised through Team Feed Corporate will provide at least 10 meals for people in need of food assistance, and will have an immediate impact in our communities.


  • World Central Kitchen: WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. When disaster strikes, WCK’s Relief Team mobilizes to the frontlines with the urgency of now to start cooking and providing meals to people in need. By partnering with organizations on the ground and activating a network of local restaurants, food trucks, or emergency kitchens, WCK serves comforting meals to survivors of disasters quickly and effectively. We know that good food provides not only nourishment, but also comfort and hope, especially in times of crisis. WCK has provided more than 300 million fresh, nourishing meals for communities around the world. Your donation today will be used to support our emergency food relief efforts. 

 

 

Through the Crunchtime Giving Share-a-Meal campaign, we’re aiming to fill the plates, and hearts, of those in need. Crunchtime will match donations from Crunchtime employees up to $100,000 until 12/27/23 to help the hungry at home and abroad. 

Hunger knows no bounds, and we’re committed to supporting this important cause. Let’s get into the spirit of giving, and work together toward helping the hungry around the world. 

Whether it’s a specific charity of your choosing, or our Crunchtime Giving: Share-a-Meal Campaign, we encourage you to join in and spread generosity to help stop hunger this holiday season.

[UPDATE]

In November 2023, we launched the Share-a-Meal campaign, part of the Crunchtime Giving initiative, aiming to fill the plates, and hearts, of those in need. We’re glad to share an update as we continue to support this important cause: 

  • Partnering with Feeding America we’ve donated approximately 80,000 meals. 
  • Partnering with World Central Kitchen, our donations are helping support those impacted by natural disasters and conflict in 18 countries.
