At Post Consumer Brands, our commitment to community goes beyond the products we make. Across our offices, manufacturing sites, and distribution centers, our teams are always finding meaningful ways to support the communities where we live and work. Whether they’re helping provide food to families in need, supporting local nonprofits, or contributing to community traditions, these efforts demonstrate two of our values: what it means to Do Right and Bring Joy.
Bentonville Office donates breakfast items to Northwest Arkansas Food Bank
The Bentonville team supported the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank’s annual cereal drive, helping provide breakfast items to children so they have food to eat while school is out for summer. The food bank exceeded its goal by collecting more than 168,000 breakfast items, including a full truckload of cereal donated from Post Consumer Brands that contained approximately 56,000 boxes. Team members also volunteered to help sort cereal for distribution, seeing firsthand how the donations would reach local families and children in need.
Lakeville donates excess ingredients and supports victims of apartment fire
When an ingredient shipment unexpectedly resulted in an extra 180 pounds of freeze-dried strawberries, the Lakeville team found a meaningful way to put the product to good use. They were donated to Open Arms of Minnesota, a nonprofit that provides medically tailored meals to individuals living with serious chronic illnesses and their caregivers. The organization shared that its chefs found many creative ways to incorporate the strawberries into meals, helping extend the impact of the donation.
In addition, after an apartment fire destroyed 90 units and displaced nearly 160 families in St. Louis Park, Minnesota., team members in Lakeville answered the community’s call for help and delivered more than 150 pounds of cereal to STEP – St. Louis Park’s Emergency Program that is supporting those in need.
