American Airlines reaffirms commitment to Feeding America as a Mission Partner during Hunger Action Month

FORT WORTH, Texas - Today American Airlines announced a renewed partnership with Feeding America^®, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization. As a Mission Partner, American will continue its commitment to helping end hunger, ensuring everyone across the country has access to the food they need to thrive.

Together, the organizations have expanded access to food and essential resources by supporting the Feeding America network of 250+ food banks, 20+ statewide food bank associations, 10+ regional co-ops and 60,000+ agency partners, food pantries and meal programs, reaching millions of people facing hunger each year.

American also supports Feeding America through donated AAdvantage^® miles, helping network members travel to further their mission while serving communities experiencing food insecurity.

The work continued this September with Hunger Action Month^®, an annual national campaign that raises awareness of food insecurity and calls individuals, organizations and communities to take action to help end hunger in America.

"We're grateful for partners like American Airlines who understand that ending hunger is a collective effort, especially at a time when so many communities are feeling stretched and uncertain," said Interim Vice President of Corporate and Foundation Partnerships at Feeding America Elizabeth Pettengill. "Through their continued support, American helps us reach more neighbors facing hunger across the country, moving us closer to a future where everyone has access to the food they need to thrive."

Later this year, American and Feeding America will continue their partnership with the seventh annual Thanksgiving Mobile Market, which brings together volunteers to help distribute food items across Dallas-Fort Worth ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

"We're proud to continue our partnership with Feeding America and help advance its mission to end hunger in America," said American's Director of Partnerships and Community Griffin Gonzalez. "Over the years, what began as a single volunteer packing event has grown into a longstanding partnership focused on supporting communities facing hunger. We look forward to expanding that impact in the years ahead."
