United Supermarkets & Kellanova team up to donate $10,000 to Amarillo College’s on-campus food pantry
AMARILLO, Texas — On Wednesday, United Supermarkets and Kellanova partnered to donate $10,000 to Amarillo College’s on-campus food pantry that supports students and staff.
The donation is part of Kellanova’s Better Days Promise, the company’s ongoing mission to advance sustainable and equitable access to food. Through the sale of products like Eggo® and Rice Krispies Treats®, Kellanova empowers retailers like United Supermarkets with the ability to give back to local organizations.
“We are proud to partner with our friends at Kellanova to support hunger programs in our communities,” said Travis Chaney, regional vice president of The United Family. “The AC Pantry is an awesome program for students and staff at Amarillo College. We hope that these funds will have a positive impact on those across the campus who are in need.”
The Amarillo College Food Pantry, located in the Advocacy and Resource Center (ARC) Amarillo College’s Washington Street Campus, provides non-perishable food and toiletries to any currently enrolled Amarillo College students or employees who need the assistance. Recipients of these services are able to access the pantry twice a month.
The donation includes 32 gift cards valued at $250 each — a total of $8,000 — to help stock the college’s food pantry with essential supplies. An additional 80 gift cards valued at $25 each, totaling $2,000, will be distributed to students in need for groceries, hygiene products, gas, and other necessities.
“We are so grateful for United Supermarkets and Kellanova for their support,” said Jordan Herrera, AC director of social services. “Their generosity will help us continue meeting the essential needs of our students so they can focus on achieving their educational goals.”
