Plexus Worldwide, through its Nourish One philanthropic initiative, reached the milestone of providing 50 million meals to people experiencing food insecurity. Since 2018, Plexus has partnered with Feeding America and Mary’s Meals USA in the work to end hunger and support families in need.
“Providing 50 million meals through Nourish One is more than a milestone,” said Stuart MacMillan, Plexus Chief Executive & Growth Officer. “This is a starting point that demonstrates the vision of our founders, dedicated Brand Ambassadors, employees and the communities who support us. We’re proud of the difference we’ve made and resolve to do even more.”
Every purchase of Plexus Lean generates the equivalent of ten meals donated, while each purchase of Plexus Reset donates the equivalent of three meals. The effort has since expanded beyond product-linked giving to include volunteerism, food drives and charitable giving.
“For years, Plexus employees, Brand Ambassadors and customers have joined the movement to end hunger through charitable giving and volunteerism,” said Elizabeth Pettengill, Feeding America Interim Vice President of Corporate and Foundation Partnerships. “We are grateful for Plexus’ continued commitment to helping connect neighbors with the food they need to thrive and for recognizing the vital work of local food banks and communities.”
Now, the company has announced a new goal of providing 10 million additional meals by 2030.
“We are proud to celebrate Plexus as they reach the remarkable milestone of more than 50 million meals provided to help end hunger around the world,” said Jennifer Hartley, Mary’s Meals USA President and Executive Director. “Behind that number are children who can now sit in a classroom with enough to eat, ready to learn and to hope. Working alongside Plexus’ Brand Ambassadors, we have seen first-hand the generosity and leadership that run throughout their community. We are grateful for this partnership and excited to walk with Plexus toward their next milestone.”
