The NACS Foundation has partnered with Vontier Corporation, a global provider of technologies and solutions to connect, manage and scale the mobility ecosystem, for the Foundation’s Neighborhood Nourish Program—a pioneering initiative fighting hunger, reducing food waste and strengthening communities.

Building on the Foundation’s success in recovering over 76,000 pounds of food during the 2024 NACS Show in Las Vegas—equivalent to more than 64,000 meals—Vontier’s commitment of $50,000 in 2025 will help mobilize volunteer teams to support the Foundation’s signature month-long food recovery event at the 2025 NACS Show in Chicago this year.

The program collects surplus food donations from retailers and suppliers and distributes them to local food banks and organizations, ensuring resources reach families facing food insecurity in the Chicago area and other communities across the United States.

Vontier employees will volunteer alongside the NACS Foundation on Friday, October 17, helping to distribute food donations among four local pantries serving the greater Chicago community at the end of the event.

“Vontier’s generous support significantly amplifies our capacity to combat hunger and food insecurity, uniting businesses and individuals in a shared mission to uplift vulnerable communities,” said Kevin O’Connell, executive director of the NACS Foundation.

“At Vontier, our commitment extends far beyond delivering innovative technologies—we understand that our true success is measured by the strength and well-being of the communities where our customers and employees live and work,” said Katie Rowen, chief administrative officer and president of the Vontier Foundation at Vontier. “By advancing both the technology ecosystem for convenience retailers and supporting the communities they serve, we bring our purpose to life through impactful programs like Neighborhood Nourish.”
