Kellogg and its employees reached more than 4.1 million people through food donations, volunteerism and giving campaigns \u2013 as well as those who participated in company-sponsored activities, such as online or in-store promotions and digital events to learn more about the issue of food security.<\/p>\n

The number of people experiencing hunger is at an all-time high in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s expected that an additional 83 to 132 million people will go hungry \u2013 and that’s on top of the 690 million people who already face hunger worldwide. <\/p>\n

World Food Day was observed Oct. 16<\/span>, but Kellogg sponsored activities in the weeks before and after it. <\/p>\n

Thousands of Kellogg employees, from the U.S. to Latin America<\/span> to Europe<\/span> and across Asia<\/span>, rolled up their sleeves to ensure more children and families were being fed and fulfilled through virtual food drives, fundraisers, socially distanced in-person food collections and various other activities.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“As a leading global food company that addresses food insecurity, Kellogg employees around the world have once again stepped up to put their heart and soul on display to create Better Days for people in need,” said Steve Cahillane<\/span><\/b>, Kellogg Company Chairman and CEO.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“And they did it in creative ways due to the limitations of the pandemic. It was incredibly inspiring to see our people come together from regions around the world and rally for a common purpose. This work has never been more important as we strive for a good and just world, where people are not just fed, but fulfilled.” <\/p>\n
