Hunger Fight, Inc. recently announced FreshJax as its legacy partner. FreshJax, a Jacksonville-based family business that handcrafts organic spice blends, has agreed to a long-term partnership to end childhood hunger.
Hunger Fight recently launched a capital campaign in an effort to raise funds to purchase its own facility to meet the increase in demand for services and fulfill their mission to eradicate childhood hunger and illiteracy.
FreshJax, which also has a mission to combat childhood hunger and donates a meal to a hungry child for every gift set or two large spice bottles purchased on its website, has committed to become a top-tier partner in helping to make Hunger Fight’s capital campaign goal a reality.
“There are so many synergies with Hunger Fight and FreshJax, we couldn’t have picked a more ‘organic’ legacy partner,” said Sherri Porter, founder and executive director of Hunger Fight. “We both have a passion and mission for eradicating childhood hunger and with both organizations being headquartered in Jacksonville, I think teaming together will allow us to make an even larger impact in our community,”
With FreshJax’s contribution to the capital campaign, Hunger Fight hopes to purchase its own warehouse by October 2023 to enable the nonprofit the ability to host more in-house packing events and provide more meals and books to those in need. As a legacy partner, FreshJax will have a room named after it at the current and future Hunger Fight headquarters.
“Teaming up with Hunger Fight allows us to give back to the community who is supporting us on our mission and our vision to donate more than 50 million meals to kids in need,” said FreshJax CEO Jason McDonald. “Every FreshJax sale creates a donation. We are excited to see how our combined efforts and passion to feed hungry children in need will change the world.”
Hunger Fight is a nonprofit organization established in 2012. Its mission is to end hunger and illiteracy through the provision of nutritious meals to children, seniors, and families in need and age-appropriate books to preschoolers by engaging communities and mobilizing partners.
