The Foundation of the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FFPSA), McLean, Va., recently announced the launch of the 2019 Defeat Hunger campaign. The Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) will once again work in conjunction with the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) to run a food drive leading up to and during Process Expo with all proceeds and donations received to help fight hunger in the greater Chicago area. This year's Process Expo will be held on Oct. 8-11, 2019, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
"Building upon the success at Process Expo 2017, we once again decided to support those in need here in the U.S. by joining forces with the Greater Chicago Food Depository in an effort to help feed the over 800,000 food insecure residents in Cook County," said Gil Williams, chairman of the FPSA Foundation. "The Foundation's last Defeat Hunger campaign, held in conjunction with Process Expo, resulted in the contribution of over 400,000 meals, with our combined efforts now helping provide nearly one million meals so far. We are once again very proud to be partnering with the Greater Chicago Food Depository this fall."
