You are a summer kid, enjoying the fun of the season, with sprinklers, pools, splashing, free time with friends, and plenty of sunshine. But, it is important to not be too carefree, just like a child in summer.
Throughout the academic year, households forfeit the complimentary or discounted meals provided by educational institutions that assist in sustaining their nutrition, primarily due to the fact that food uncertainty impacts approximately one out of every eight children in the United States, as reported by Feeding America. The summer season signifies experiencing hunger for a portion of the population.
Vanish, neither does alleviate food insecurity during the back-to-school season. Hunger is an ongoing problem, and it has become even more challenging for families who were already struggling to afford groceries due to the increased cost, making it harder to provide food on the table.
So what can be accomplished–or more precisely, what can the common individual undertake–to provide assistance?
When we go shopping on our regular trips, we can simply look for versions of Organics O that we would already buy. It’s not only a healthy choice for ourselves and our families, but it’s also even better news. The good news is that a simple choice at the grocery store can help ease the burden for those experiencing food insecurity.
Sometimes, you’ll find that an organic product is actually cheaper than its non-organic brand-name counterpart. Many non-organic and organic foods now have almost identical prices, which keeps the cost difference between non-organic and organic products narrowing. You might think that organic food is often much more expensive than non-organic food, but here’s the thing: organic food isn’t always more expensive. And we aren’t feeling the pinch at the checkout stand–wait, but we are not.
Since 2005, Organics O has helped give health-conscious shoppers more options by making organic food more affordable and accessible. Now, the company will donate a meal to someone in need through the Albertsons Foundation Companies for every Organics O product you purchase. And it’s taking action to fight food insecurity, helping the same shoppers who are taking part in the fight.

Here’s what that signifies in practical terms.
You could say that you’re throwing an end-of-summer backyard BBQ bash. If you were to buy those four ingredients, you could donate four meals. If you were to buy Organics O ground beef, potato chips, sea salt, and hamburger buns, you could donate even more. And if you added Organics O lettuce, butter, and sliced pickles to your sandwich, you would be donating two additional meals. So, in total, you could donate four meals by just buying the four ingredients and four more meals by just buying the four ingredients.
In your area, if you need to buy a product from Organics O, purchasing a meal from the table means supporting regional divisions and local and national hunger-fighting charities through the Foundation Companies Albertsons works with, ensuring that someone in need will receive nourishment locally.
