Jamba Juice supports Food Bank For NYC with fundraiser
Consumers who donate $1 to Food Bank For New York City will receive a Jamba Juice coupon book
Jamba Juice stores in all five boroughs of New York City are coming together to support Food Bank of New York City through a consumer donation initiative. The stores owned by Emeryville, Calif.-based parent company Jamba Juice Co. are encouraging consumers to donate $1 to Food Bank For New York City and, in return, will give the consumers a Jamba Juice coupon book with various deals for use with their next Jamba Juice visits. All proceeds collected through June 13 will provide funding for the approximately 400,000 free meals that are distributed by Food Bank each day to New Yorkers in need.
Food Bank For New York City has been active for 31 years as the city’s major hunger-relief organization working to end food poverty throughout the five boroughs. As the city’s hub for integrated food poverty assistance, Food Bank tackles the hunger issue on three fronts — food distribution, income support and nutrition education — all strategically guided by its research. Since 1983, Food Bank has provided nearly 1 billion meals to New Yorkers in need, and a ratio of 1-in-5 New Yorkers relies on Food Bank’s program and services, according to the companies.
