SAIC raises $350k for Feeding America
Thanks to the generosity and giving spirit of SAIC employees in September 2020, we helped to provide more than 3.5 million meals to feed America's hungry, capping off the best Hunger Action Month in company history. We shattered the previous record set by our annual Feeding America Give A Meal Team Challenge — in spite of all the challenges of COVID-19.
For every dollar given, Feeding America provides 10 meals to those facing hunger. Over the past seven years, we have made more than $1.5 million dollars in employee donations and corporate matching funds, resulting in over 15.3 million meals provided to those facing hunger.
Feeding America is the nation's largest hunger relief network, made up of food banks, food pantries, and meal programs. Each year they serve 46 million people, including 12 million children,
5 million seniors, and veterans, who are in one of five households they serve.
