This past July, Casey’s announced that through its partnership with Feeding America, the company donated over 30 million meals to people struggling with hunger in its local communities.

“At Casey’s, our purpose is to make life better for our communities and our guests every day—and this includes working alongside Feeding America and the 53 local food banks we assist to help those struggling with hunger," said Ena Williams, chief operating officer at Casey’s. “Food insecurity and availability present challenges for many in our communities. But through meaningful collaboration, community partnerships and the generosity of our guests, we will continue to make a positive impact for those who need it most.”
