Kroger, ReFED to create strategy for zero hunger, zero waste
Kroger's partnership with ReFED will help accelerate the Zero Hunger | Zero Waste vision.
The Kroger Co., Cincinnati, and The Kroger Co. Foundation partnered with ReFED, a multi-stakeholder, non-profit organization committed to reducing food waste in the United States.
"When we shared our bold Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative in September, we emphasized our plans to establish a $10 million innovation fund within The Kroger Co. Foundation to address hunger, food waste and the paradoxical relationship between the two," says Jessica Adelman, Kroger's group vice president of corporate affairs. "Our newly-formed relationship with ReFED will challenge us to create the best strategy, structure and program to invest the funds in the most innovative solutions that will help end hunger in the communities we call home and eliminate waste in our company by 2025."
