(Undated) — Thanks to a new collaboration between Amazon and the Midwest Food Bank, almost eight hundred thousand pounds of food are in the hands of those fighting food insecurity. According to Midwest Food Bank Executive Director, Patrick Burke, through the “Amazon Local Good” program, Amazon provides “last-mile delivery” to support the food bank, providing food to those in need statewide.
The collaboration began in 2022 and has developed into a multi-faceted effort to address food insecurity. In the past year, Midwest Food Bank distributed 482 million dollars worth of food.
