Dole Food Company Renews Partnership With No Kid Hungry; William Goldfield and Diana Hovey Comment
CHARLOTTE, NC - During some of the most impactful months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, Dole Food Company entered a tactical partnership to help reduce childhood hunger in the United States. The supplier has now renewed that partnership, continuing to team up with No Kid Hungry through 2023.
“We are honored to work alongside No Kid Hungry in the quest to ensure that every child in the U.S. gets the healthy food they need to thrive,” said William Goldfield, Dole’s Director of Corporate Communications. “Addressing hunger and food insecurity for children is at the core of the Dole global mission of providing the tools for a healthy, happy, balanced life for all. The sponsorship of Get Fit in particular allows us to set a healthy, active tone for 2023 while helping to support the most vulnerable throughout the year.”
The collaboration is highlighted by nutrition education, fundraising campaigns, and at-retail initiatives to help give the 9 million kids in the U.S. who are living with hunger access to three healthy meals a day. Dole is also becoming the presenting sponsor of Get Fit for No Kid Hungry, a press release stated. The company is encouraging its own partner bloggers and influencers to inspire their followers to get fit and give back in the New Year by donating to No Kid Hungry.
Active in the health and wellness blogger and influencer space since 2009, Dole recruited several of the key influencers participating in this year’s 2023 program including Charm City PT, Yoga Athletica, and Dr. Rachel. Dole is encouraging its millions of social media followers, employees, customers, Dole Nutrition News e-newsletter subscribers, growers, retailers, and other partners to contribute to the effort.
“We are so grateful to be partnering with Dole for the second year in a row on Get Fit for No Kid Hungry,” said Diana Hovey, Senior Vice President, Corporate Partnerships at Share Our Strength. “Their dedication to promoting health and well-being for all families makes them the perfect partner for helping to raise the critical funds and awareness needed to end childhood hunger.”
We applaud Dole on the continuation of this impactful partnership.
