STAMFORD – In recognition of Hunger Action Month, Philip Morris International’s U.S. businesses announced Sept. 16 it had donated $100,000 to Connecticut Foodshare, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating hunger. This contribution by the cigarette and smokeless tobacco maker will allow Connecticut Foodshare to provide approximately 200,000 meals to people who are food insecure. Connecticut Foodshare has been a cornerstone of the community since 1982, distributing healthy food through more than 480 food banks, community kitchens, and shelters, and over 100 mobile food pantry locations. “Connecticut Foodshare provides hope and nourishment to thousands of families, and during Hunger Action Month, we’re reminded of the importance of their work and mission,” said Stacey Kennedy, PMI U.S. CEO. “We are grateful for PMI U.S.’s generous donation,” said Jason Jakubowski, president and CEO of Connecticut Foodshare.
