KNG Gives supports youth nutrition initiative. Julie Rose, senior buyer, Kent Corporation, presents Shelly Maharry, associate director, Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine, with a nearly $40,000 gift to support efforts to fight childhood hunger in Muscatine and Louisa counties.
MUSCATINE, Iowa — Muscatine area youth will benefit from a new wellness project that will provide easy access to healthy, nutritious food through meal programs, in-school food pantries and other youth-related nutrition support programs.
This important community effort is the inaugural project for KNG Gives — a social impact program designed to assist communities, customers, employees, and their families in the Kent Nutrition Group trade area. Kent Nutrition Group is a division of Kent Corporation, a family-owned company, headquartered in Muscatine, IA.
“KNG Gives allows us to make a positive difference in people’s lives by giving back to those communities where we live and do business,” said Mark Krieger, vice president, marketing for Kent Nutrition Group. “Thanks to our partnership with Nutra Blend, our first KNG Gives project will educate kids and families on the importance of a nutritious diet and positively impact areas that have helped us grow to be the company we are today.”
