Giving Back to Our Communities
At Post Consumer Brands®, we want everyone to have access to affordable and delicious food.

By working together, we can create a world where everyone can access the food they need to thrive.

Improving Food Accessibility
In our 2023 fiscal year, Post Consumer Brands donated about 55 million bowls of cereal and more than 1.5 million servings of peanut butter.
Hunger relief is one of our top priorities, driven by our purpose to make lives better by making delicious food accessible for all. Food insecurity is a complex crisis. We are committed to fighting hunger in ways that build and strengthen communities, including partnerships, operations and education.
"Working to increase food access isn't just about feeding people;
it's about empowering communities and ensuring everyone can thrive."
Jill Bollettieri, senior vice president, general counsel & external relations, and Second Harvest Heartland board member
Post's Commitment to Nutrition Education and Transparency
At Post Consumer Brands, we champion informed nutritional choices and responsible marketing. Our commitment to clarity, accuracy and accessibility shapes our approach to sharing information about our products and nutritional content. We work to empower consumers to make their best choices. Our marketing practices reflect our dedication to transparency, responsibility and ethical promotion, aligning with our values to Do Right and Bring Joy.
Nutrition Education
Research shows that nutrition education is critical in enabling access to quality foods for households and communities. While Post offers a wide range of products for various nutritional needs, we are committed to helping you and your family make the best decisions by sharing resources like nutritious recipes and nutrition, ingredient, and production information for our primary products.
Try Kale and Mozzarella Mini Frittatas made with Grape-Nuts® cereal, or Mixed Berry Protein Cookies made with Premier Protein® cereal. Barbara’s® cereal also shares easy-to-understand ingredients definitions. Learn more about nutrition, production and ingredient information for breakfast cereal and peanut butter.
Local Partnerships Driven by Community Pride
We are not only proud to be at your table, we are also proud members of the community. Ninety percent of our plants are in towns with populations of 100,000 or less. Many of these plants are the largest employers in their area and have been a part of these communities for decades.
Building on our 125+ year legacy of strengthening communities and feeding families, our local partnerships focus on ensuring food, safety and education access.
Ingredients for Good Volunteer Program
As part of our commitment to strengthening our local communities and creating a more inclusive and equitable culture, we join as a company every National Volunteer Month in April for our annual Ingredients for Good initiative to help individuals and families facing food insecurity, especially those from underserved communities.
Safe and Supportive Communities: The Better Together Foundation
Post Consumer Brands employees and retirees founded the Better Together Foundation to serve our tightknit communities. The foundation fosters compassion and security for families facing hardships through monetary grants. Employee contributions, donations and fundraisers support this employee giving foundation.
Donating to Feed Families and Help Communities Thrive
In 2023, Post Consumer Brands donated the equivalent of $9.3M in cash and product to community organizations and nonprofits. To best support our communities’ needs and live our purpose, we donate to organizations that are working to increase access to food and education, and the safety and well-being of our communities.
