Two Brands Support Front Line Workers, Communities Hit by COVID-19
Krusteaz, a Continental Mills brand known for its pancake and premium baking mixes, has donated 1 million meals to Feeding America. A family-owned business for nearly 90 years, Krusteaz recognizes the importance of continuing to keep the food supply stable as well as supporting hunger relief organizations to help the unprecedented number of Americans who are facing hardship due to Covid-19. Additionally, the Seattle-based company has donated $85,000 in support of community organizations across Washington state including FareStart, Food Lifeline, and Seattle's Union Gospel Mission.
“Our work at Continental Mills, providing pantry essentials like our Krusteaz pancake mix, has never seemed more important, providing both nourishment and comfort during these uncertain times. We are working hard to keep our plants running and grocery shelves stocked – while taking great care for the safety of our dedicated workers," said Andy Heily, president and CEO of Continental Mills. "As the challenge of food insecurity is affecting more and more Americans, we hope to do our small part to relieve that burden. We’ve stepped up our contributions to our local and national non-profit partners - in total we’ve donated more than 1 million meals via Feeding America, as well as providing much-needed resources to the essential local organizations that serve our hometown communities.”
