林赛Corp .)、美国的农场信贷服务d Scoular have partnered to make a $150,000 donation to the Food Bank for the Heartland to address the food insecurity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a reminder of the importance of the reliability of the U.S. food system, even as families struggle with food insecurity across the country. The continued impact of the pandemic and temporary closure of critical food programs has compounded family food challenges. It also has added new families to the lists of those needing assistance from their local food banks and pantries in the Omaha area, rural Nebraska, and Southwest Iowa, areas served by Food Bank for the Heartland.

从2020年3月15日至6月30日，Heartland的食品银行在包括补充营养援助计划（SNAP）的情况下，向心脏地带的儿童，家庭和老年人分发了7,510,900顿饭，面对饥饿的儿童和老年人，面对饥饿和11,633,012顿饭。这比同一时期分配的平均餐数增加了61％。此外，喂养美国的食品银行是成员，估计食品银行93县服务地区的食品无安全个人数量从207,000升至296,000，这是196,000。

The $150,000 donation by Lindsay Corporation, Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica), and Scoular will address immediate and unique need, enabling Food Bank for the Heartland to purchase critical food items that will be distributed through the organization’s network of pantries and emergency meal providers and through its Mobile Pantry program.

“With a large part of our business focused on the world’s food production, and understanding the impact COVID-19 has had on our nation’s food supply, specifically food pantries, it was important for Lindsay to be part of the solution to relieve food insecurity for those in our community,” said Tim Hassinger, president and CEO of Lindsay Corporation. “We’re proud to partner with Farm Credit Services of America and Scoular to help provide this critical need to Food Bank for the Heartland so they can continue doing their good work.”
