Both collaborations advance Advantage’s Belonging & Impact strategy, which includes four key commitments: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging; community engagement; environmental, social and governance; and business integration.

With more than 47 million Americans facing hunger, including one in five children, the fund aims to address disparities in food access and enhance food security nationwide. The increased investment builds on a longstanding relationship between Advantage and Feeding America.

"With food insecurity on the rise, it's never been more important to have dedicated partners in the movement to end hunger. Together with Advantage Solutions, our partnership helps more people access the food and resources they say they need to thrive," said Lauren Biedron, Feeding America's senior vice president of corporate partnerships.

Together, we are building a more sustainable and prosperous future for the St. Louis community, creating lasting opportunities for generations to come.”
For Advantage, the partnership is an opportunity to do good in its own backyard, Peacock said, noting the company’s recent headquarters move to the St. Louis area.
“We’re delighted to partner with the Urban League by supporting the Save Our Sisters program, which has empowered hundreds of women to achieve their life goals,” Peacock said. “And the career fairs will directly connect community members to opportunities.”
Beyond the investments in the two organizations, Advantage Solutions employees are further scaling and enhancing the company’s impact through volunteering. These team efforts will be expanded into a holistic, enterprise program for 2025, which includes the launch of regional employee engagement committees to lead volunteer efforts in communities across the U.S.
