The Foundation of the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FFPSA) announced the launch of the 2019 DEFEAT HUNGER campaign. FPSA will work with the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) to run the food drive leading up to and during PROCESS EXPO with all proceeds and donations received to help fight hunger in the greater Chicago area. PROCESS EXPO will be held October 8-11, 2019, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill.
"Building upon the success at PROCESS EXPO 2017, we once again decided to support those in need here in the U.S. by joining forces with the Greater Chicago Food Depository in an effort to help feed the over 800,000 food insecure residents in Cook County," said Gil Williams, chairman of the FPSA Foundation. "The Foundation's last DEFEAT HUNGER campaign held in conjunction with PROCESS EXPO resulted in the contribution of over 400,000 meals, with our combined efforts now helping provide nearly one million meals so far. We are once again very proud to be partnering with the Greater Chicago Food Depository this fall."
