We’ve seen firsthand that children learn best when they have the energy and nourishment to help them focus on their studies, rather than their stomachs. Today, 16 million children in the United States don’t have access to the basic nutrition they need each day to learn and grow. Across the developing world, 66 million primary school-age children come to school hungry, with 23 million in Africa alone.

We launched Nourishing Minds in 2015 to build on our company’s unique expertise in food processing, production and distribution as well as our tradition of improving children’s lives.
