For the past six years, TIME and P&G have partnered on TIME101, a recognition honoring an individual or organization making a meaningful impact in their community. This year, TIME101 recognizes the essential work of [Feeding America](https://www.feedingamerica.org/)®, which is helping people across the country access the food and resources they need to thrive. #### **How is Feeding America addressing food insecurity in the United States?** According to Feeding America, 48 million people in the U.S. face food insecurity, along with the health and social impacts associated with it. Feeding America, a nationwide network powered by over 250 food banks, works to address this by approaching hunger-relief from every angle. In addition to ensuring neighbors can access the food and essentials they need, Feeding America advocates for policies that improve food security for everyone and partners with organizations to help address the root causes of food insecurity like the high cost of living and systemic barriers to opportunity. #### **How is the St. Louis Area Foodbank making an impact locally?** One of those network members is the St. Louis Area Foodbank which has provided nearly 1.6 million meals over the last five years through its Food on the Move program. This no-cost, mobile grocery shopping experience delivers food and essentials directly to neighborhoods experiencing food insecurity. The initiative is designed to ensure people can access food in a way that feels respectful and empowering. #### **How does the P&G partnership support Feeding America’s mission?** For nearly 190 years, P&G, its brands, people, and partners have supported communities through longstanding partnerships with local and global organizations.
