"Our purpose is to help our customers when they need us most, as well as give back to the diverse communities where we live and work," said Joe Vasquez, President, Combined Insurance. "Food banks are doing tremendous work to support the daily wellbeing of our neighbors during a time when people in our nation are in need of food for themselves and their families. We are honored to be part of the many organizations dedicating resources to these efforts."
The company identified the following food banks that they will support:
- $10,000 donation to Food Bank For New York City: pledged to provide food and emergency grocery bags for more than 30,000 healthcare workers on the frontlines of COVID-19.
- $5,000 donation to Northern Illinois Food Bank: distributed 7 million meals, more than 20 percent and one million meals over goal.
- $5,000 donation to Feed NC: typically serving about 1,000 per week, the organization has seen a nearly 54 percent increase in the number of people served.
- $5,000 donation to Feeding South Florida: activated drive-thru distributions in strategic areas throughout the community to supplement closed agency sites, schools and meal sites.
"I am both grateful for and inspired by the untiring commitment to New Yorkers in need demonstrated by my fellow food bankers and our incredible network of supporters and friends like Combined Insurance. The continued support from our community is needed now more than ever as we innovate new solutions for all," said Janis Robinson, VP of Institutions and Partnerships at Food Bank For NYC.
Combined Insurance, a leading provider of supplemental accident & health, disability, and life insurance products, and a Chubb company is headquartered in Chicago with their next largest employee base in the New York metropolitan area. The company sees this as an opportunity to give back to the communities where its customers are being impacted.
Combined's donations provide a local complement to the recent announcement by their parent company, Chubb, to commit $10 million in pandemic relief efforts globally— responding specifically to the sudden and massive demand for food bank support across the U.S. with a 1.5 million donation to Feeding America.
