US (GA): Cox Farms donates 2M pounds of fresh food to families in need

This September, during Hunger Action Month, Cox Farms has achieved the milestone of donating over 2 million pounds of fresh, greenhouse-grown produce to families across the U.S. and Canada. The company is on track to achieve its goal of donating three million pounds by the end of 2025 through its partnership with Feeding America®.

Hunger Action Month is Feeding America's national campaign to raise awareness about hunger and inspire individuals and organizations to take action. As the largest greenhouse operator in North America, Cox Farms is contributing not only through fresh food donations but also by engaging its employees and communities to drive impact.

"Cox Farms' mission is to nourish communities, and Hunger Action Month is a powerful reminder of why that work matters," said Steve Bradley, president of Cox Farms. "Reaching 2 million pounds of donated produce is a proud moment, but the real impact is in what that food represents—healthier meals, dignity, and hope for families who need it most. Together, we can end hunger."

"We're excited to have partners like Cox Farms who not only contribute fresh food but also bring national attention to the issue of hunger," said Dru Montri, Vice President of Agri Food Engagement at Feeding America. "Together, we're demonstrating the power of neighbor-centered solutions to fight food insecurity."

Cox Farms supplies food banks with fresh produce including tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, peppers and leafy greens, grown year-round in sustainable greenhouses. With more than 700 acres producing over 450 million pounds annually, Cox Farms is helping Feeding America's network of 200+ food banks and 60,000 partner organizations close the nutrition gap for families facing hunger. This effort also supports Cox Enterprises' 34by34 initiative, which aims to empower 34 million people to live more prosperous lives by 2034.
