  • RLS Logistics, a third-party transportation company specializing in temperature-controlled logistics, has created Pallets 4 Plates, a program under which every pallet moved by the company triggers a charitable donation. In 2019, 305,500 plates of food were supplied to charities in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Utah.
  • Food logistics and supply chain solutions company McLane Global has partnered with Baylor University’s Collaborative on Hunger, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, PepsiCo, and others in a national hunger-relief effort called “Emergency Meals-To-You.” The program, which delivers food boxes to students whose access to food has been disrupted by Covid-19 school closures, has provided more than 1,000,000 meals per week across rural America.
  • The Goodman Foundation, the philanthropic arm of global industrial property company Goodman Group, has made a $140,000 donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County (California). The donation will provide as many as 420,000 meals to local residents impacted by Covid-19.
