Grant from charitable arm of Olive Garden parent company will help increase access to food through mobile food pantries.
As part of the company's ongoing efforts to fight hunger, Darden Restaurants has partnered with Feeding America to enhance mobile food pantry programs in areas with higher levels of food insecurity, including communities of color. Through a $500,000 grant from the Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation and additional support from Darden's partners, Penske Truck Leasing and Lineage Logistics, five Feeding America food banks will each receive a 26-foot refrigerated box truck to help increase access to nutritious food and address transportation needs.
