Giving Compass' Take:

• My Social Good News reports on the partnership between Humana Inc. and Feeding America that is aiming to help veterans who represent a big part of the population suffering from food insecurity. 

• How can more of these types of partnerships contribute to providing more services and the philanthropic movement towards social change? 

• Read about Kellogg's philanthropic partnerships to end the hunger crisis. 

Humana Inc. is partnering with the non-profit Feeding America® to help end hunger, a problem that impacts one in eight Americans. By working collaboratively, the two organizations will focus on helping veterans, as research shows one in five of the households Feeding America serves has at least one member who has served in the U.S. military.

Leveraging Feeding America’s network of more than 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs, Humana will stage a series of events throughout the year that will drive food donations and elevate the issue of food insecurity, including three initiatives called Rolling Thunder XXXI, VFW National Convention, and Rock N' Roll Marathons.

In addition to these initiatives, Humana is partnering with Feeding America-affiliated food banks in each of the Bold Goal communities (Baton Rouge, Broward County, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Knoxville, Louisville, New Orleans, San Antonio and Tampa Bay) on efforts to improve the health and accessibility to food at the local level.
