PHOENIX, June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Plexus Worldwide (Plexus®), a leading direct-selling health and wellness company, has helped provide 10 Million Meals* in the first year of its partnership with Feeding America® under the Plexus Charities and Nourish One® Program. For each serving of Plexus Lean™ sold, Plexus helps provide a meal to someone in need; this equals 14 meals for every unit of Lean sold. This achievement far exceeds the original first-year goal of donating 2.5 million meals and has emboldened Plexus to renew its commitment to Feeding America for a second year at the Mission Partner level. Feeding America Mission Partners are organizations whose aggregate contributions exceed $500,000 to 5 million pounds or more of donated food and grocery products, or a combination of the two. At the Mission Partner level, Plexus joins the ranks of other Feeding America partners like Del Monte, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Post, and PetSmart Charities, in helping to end food insecurity in the United States.
"We are proud to share this exciting news at the mark of our first anniversary with Feeding America," says Tarl Robinson, CEO, and Founder of Plexus. "By forging meaningful partnerships such as these, we can help people who face food insecurity and work with Feeding America to end hunger right here at home."
The One Plexus family includes hundreds of thousands of amazing Ambassadors who share health and happiness with others daily. In March 2019, Plexus achieved record enrollment and is currently in four global markets, with increased international expansion on the horizon.
"Seeing the positive impact our Nourish One program and sales of Plexus Lean have had on virtually every community in the United States is incredibly rewarding," added Christopher Pair, President of Operations and International for Plexus. "Having personally experienced food insecurity growing up, this partnership is close to my heart. We are looking forward to an even bigger and better second year with Feeding America, knowing that more children and families will have the support they need."
"Plexus is helping to create change in the world by partnering with Feeding America to help provide meals to people in need," says Andy Wilson, Chief Development Officer at Feeding America. "We are excited to continue to build our relationship and bring more opportunity to people in need with Plexus."
