Fresh Thyme Market Makes $150,000 Donation to St. Louis Area Foodbank

Fresh Thyme Market has donated $150,000 to the St. Louis Area Foodbank, a member of Feeding America. This donation specifically benefits the St. Louis Area Foodbank School-Based Market Program which offers students and families choice and access to nutritious food to help reduce hunger, improve nutrition and improve long-term health and wellness.

To help support these efforts, Fresh Thyme held a “Round Up at the Register” program across all their Missouri locations, giving customers the opportunity to donate while they shop. The funds from this program, paired with a donation directly from Fresh Thyme, will be given to the St. Louis Area Foodbank to help provide food and services to those in need.

“With the holiday season among us, our community must put its best foot forward to help support those throughout St. Louis in need of food security,” said Fresh Thyme Market President, Gerald Melville. As a company rooted in serving our local communities, we aim to promote wellness by providing residents with real, locally sourced products at affordable prices. Due to our partnership with the St. Louis Food Bank, which was a true culmination of efforts, we are proud to be able to give back to those who help keep our neighborhood afloat.”
