TUCSON, Ariz. -- — At the start of their 2022-23 school year, more than 35,000 students in Tucson Unified School District qualified for free and reduced price meals on campus.
Thursday morning, the PepsiCo Foundation joined school district leaders and nonprofit executives in unveiling that investment that's part of the Mission 57: End Student Hunger campaign. Glin said PepsiCo's contribution to the project is a long-term investment in kids' health and success through school. With its partners and sponsors, the project wants to set up 57 'Grab and Go' meal stations and packages for Arizona schools whose students may be more vulnerable to food insecurity.
"It's not lost on us," Glin said,"that we have thousands of employees whose family members, those in their extended families, may be suffering from food insecurity. So when we show up for communities, the value proposition is clear."
