NEW YORK, April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Positive Planet US, a nonprofit dedicated to addressing economic, social and ecological inequity through entrepreneurship, is proud to be providing immediate relief to families in need by donating boxes of food and other essential products, through an initiative named Smile in a Box .
To maximize its impact, Positive Planet has partnered with Branches Long Island, another volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to providing assistance to those in need. The initiative will result in over 150 people receiving the help they desperately need, at a time when the devastation brought about by the COVID19 pandemic means that up to 42 million people (1 in 8), including 13 million children (1 in 6), may experience food insecurity in the U.S. in 2021 (as estimated by Feeding America).
