The Kraft Heinz Company Foundation has announced a three-year, $12 million commitment to Rise Against Hunger in support of food assistance and sustainable agriculture programs around the world.

The commitment will provide support for Rise Against Hunger's local procurement efforts, sustainable agriculture projects, and meal packaging and distribution, including Kraft Heinz micronutrient sachets. The commitment will equate to 748.5 million meals.

"As one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, we are committed to using our scale to positively impact communities globally by creating a healthier, more sustainable world for all," said Rashida La Lande, Kraft Heinz's global general counsel and head of ESG and government affairs. "I am proud to further our longstanding partnership with Rise Against Hunger, and look forward to advancing our sustainable agriculture and micronutrient programs as we make progress on our goal of providing 1.5 billion meals for people in need by 2025."
