For every fruit gift purchased, the Naumes family will match it pound for pound, donating fresh and nutritious fruit to food banks that feed hungry families
The Naumes have longstanding partnerships with national organizations Feeding America and St. Vincent De Paul
Hunger in America:
For one in eight Americans, hunger is a reality
According to the USDA, an estimated 12.4 million children lived in food-insecure households in 2007
Scientific evidence suggests that hungry children are less likely to become productive citizens
Fresh and nutritious fruit is a vital component of food donated to hungry families who too often rely on processed foods that can lead to obesity and other health problems
