For every $1 donated to Give A Meal, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation will give $2 more to help Feeding America and its network of food banks to provide meals to individuals and families who are food insecure. This nationwide program has been highly successful, helping to provide over 250 million meals over the seven years of this program – over 55 million meals contributed in 2017 alone – and localizing support for over 80% of the Feeding America network members. This is the seventh year we’ve partnered with Feeding America on Give A Meal, serving as the exclusive holiday sponsor. Together, we have the power to break the cycle and end hunger in our communities.
