LINSEY THORNTON: For the past 10 years, BlackRock has been a proud partner of the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank in the fight against hunger. Providing nearly a million pounds of food every week to more than 140,000 neighbors is no small feat. We at BlackRock are glad to do what we can to help.
JANINE HURTY: That’s right. Thanks to BlackRock’s support, the food bank has been able to provide enough food for over 2 million meals. With BlackRock’s generous financial support, volunteerism, and through BlackRock Giving Days, we are transforming lives with food every day.
The food bank is also able to grow and innovate because of BlackRock’s support. In the last three years, the food bank has launched food pharmacies, college pantries, and our mobile pantry, all aimed at closing the hunger gap and reaching more neighbors in need.
BlackRock employees are also among our top volunteers. Over 1,700 employees have volunteered more than 4,500 hours in our warehouses and at our neighborhood food pantries. We cannot thank BlackRock enough for their support, dedication, and partnership. Thank you, BlackRock.
