Plexus Worldwide, through its Nourish One initiative, continued its commitment to fight food insecurity as part of Hunger Action Month. During its annual Week of Service, 138 Plexus team members volunteered 410 hours to contribute 587,051 meals to help feed families across Arizona – an area where more than 2 million people deal with food insecurity. Plexus also donated $15,000 to support St. Mary’s Food Bank, which serves more than 250,000 people per day through pantries, meal centers and after school programs.
“This month, we were proud to rally our community to help families facing food insecurity,” said Elizabeth Woods, Plexus Worldwide Director of Philanthropy. “We’re honored to support St. Mary’s Food Bank through our 7th annual food drive, and every contribution – from our team members and customers – helps make a meaningful impact.”
Since launching the Nourish One initiative in 2018, Plexus and its customers have donated more than 47.5 million meals, supporting Feeding America in the US and Mary’s Meals globally.
