StarKist Helps Dallas Families Hurt by Severe Winter Storm

(PRESS RELEASE) As families continue to struggle after the severe 2021 winter storm affecting Texas, StarKist Co., a food company that provides trusted, healthy, shelf-stable seafood and chicken in the United States, has partnered with Feed the Children, a leading nonprofit focused on alleviating childhood hunger, to help families affected by the recent winter storm. StarKist donated its lean protein products valued at more than $25,000 to support residents who live in some of the hardest hit communities in the Dallas metro area.

The two organizations worked with local community organizations, Belknap Ministries/Inspired Vision Compassion Center, to distribute donated products from StarKist and resources to families Tues., March 9. The event, hosted by Belknap Ministries/Inspired Vision Compassion Center at the Vision Inspired Church in Dallas, will benefit as many as 2,000 families who need a little extra help during this challenging and uncertain time.

“The aftermath of that severe February storm is still very real,” said Michelle Faist, dead of Corporate Affairs, StarKist Co. “It’s an honor to provide much needed food for families in Texas who are still recovering. We appreciate our strong partnership with Feed the Children to make it happen, and will continue to work together to help families in need across the country.”

StarKist has been a partner of Feed the Children for 12 years, supporting various initiatives such as providing education supplies to teachers and students, as well as responding to natural disasters. StarKist’s generosity has played a significant role in how Feed the Children fights childhood hunger and poverty, going above and beyond just addressing food insecurity issues.

“It is only through partnership that we can reach at-risk families and respond to critical emergencies,” said Travis Arnold, president and CEO of Feed the Children. “Through our partnership with StarKist and Belknap Ministries, we can support America’s most vulnerable during these difficult times, providing much-needed food and essentials.”
