Over the next three years, as part of the company’s 2021 pledge to serve and nourish communities, Marson Foods is committed to creating awareness around the issues of food insecurity and hunger in the United States and will be donating 10 million meals* through Feeding America’s network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs.
