CHICAGO, March 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Feed the Children, a leading nonprofit focused on alleviating childhood hunger, recently received a donation of more than 33 million sanitizing wipes valued at more than $1Million from Terraboost, a “purpose-driven” manufacturer of sanitizer, wipes and other wellness products. The donation will be received at Feed the Children sites in Oklahoma, Tennessee, Indiana and Pennsylvania. From there, they will be distributed to the nonprofit’s network of community partners across the United States.
The company is providing not only the disinfecting wipes but also the sanitizing billboard dispensers it manufactures that will safely and efficiently distribute their sanitizing products to volunteers and recipients alike.
This $1M donation is part of Terraboost’s broader $3.6 million purpose-driven initiative to support food banks and hunger-oriented nonprofits nationwide. This initiative came about when the company recognized a huge void it wanted to fill in terms of providing disinfecting/safety supplies to such locations at a time when the need for such charities is peaking. The past 12 months have been difficult for many families and 2020 has been labelled the hungriest year in modern history due to the economic downturn caused by COVID-19.
“We’re extremely fortunate to be manufacturing an essential product at scale here in the USA while a lot of other businesses find themselves in more difficult positions with a lot less demand for their products & services due to COVID-19,” said Brian Morrison, CEO of Terraboost. “We have an efficiently managed USA-based supply chain that affords us the honor and opportunity to make such a large contribution during a time when need is at its highest, while some of our competitors are struggling to source sufficient materials used in the wipes,” Morrison continued.
"We understand that many Americans are continuing to face unexpected challenges and we are working diligently with our partners such as Terraboost to ensure that, as needs rise, children and their families continue to receive the food and supplies they need,” said Travis Arnold, Feed the Children president and CEO.
