Just months after announcing a partnership with Feeding America®, Cox Farms donated over 1 million pounds of fresh, greenhouse-grown produce to families facing hunger. This milestone underscores the power of indoor agriculture to deliver nutritious, year-round food access at scale.
The partnership with Feeding America emphasizes donations of high-quality, perishable produce – including lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, and peppers – that delivers vital daily nutrition to families facing food insecurity. Each delivery provides nourishment that supports long-term health and well-being.
"From the beginning of this partnership, our goal has been to deliver healthy fruits and vegetables that bring real nourishment to the table. Because this isn't just about feeding people. It's about helping them thrive," said Steve Bradley, president of Cox Farms. "We're proud of the momentum we've built with Feeding America, and we're just getting started."
"Everyone needs nutritious food to thrive, and in every community in America, people are working hard to provide for themselves and their families. Yet 47.4 million people—1 in 7 people—experience food insecurity in the U.S. " said Dru Montri, Vice President of Agri Food Engagement at Feeding America. "Together with Cox Farms, we are committed to working alongside people facing hunger to make sure everyone has nutritious food for health and wellbeing."
