We're proud to share this video showcasing how members of the Meat Institute kicked off our Protein PACT Solutions Summit—by giving back to the community! In partnership with the Feeding America network and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, we assembled and distributed 2,000 Protein Packs filled with nutrient-dense meat products to support local families in need. A huge thank you to Sigma, Chomps, Jack Links Beef Jerky, Dietz and Watson, and Marcus Food Company for their generous support! This project highlights the vital role our sector plays in fighting food insecurity. With about one of every five children in the U.S. living in a food-insecure household, initiatives that deliver essential nutrients are critical. We have developed a new resource to help you start or expand protein-focused child nutrition programs in your own state. Our Blueprint for Building Statewide Protein-Focused Child Nutrition Programs outlines a step-by-step model for replication nationwide (Link to the resource in the comments ⤵️)
