SIOUX FALLS, S.D.
SucroCorp today announced the expansion of its Community Nutrition Partnership Program into additional school districts, regional food banks and municipal meal services across the company’s operating regions.
The program provides ingredient donations, formulation assistance and volunteer support to participating organizations. Since its establishment, the program has contributed to meal programs serving communities near SucroCorp facilities.
“These are our neighbors, and in many cases our employees’ families,” said Priya Raghavan, Vice President, Environment and Facilities. “We would like everyone in these communities to have reliable access to food.”
Expansion elements include:
- Ingredient contribution to regional food bank networks
- Formulation and menu support for participating school nutrition programs
- Employee volunteer time at municipal meal services
- Support for summer meal programs in counties served by company facilities
Participating organizations agree to standard reporting on distribution volume and served population counts, which supports the company’s community investment reporting and its regional capacity planning.
