OAK BROOK, IL — Nature’s Path is fighting food insecurity through its Sweet 16 Acts of Love initiative, created in partnership with Feed the Children.

The Sweet 16 Acts of Love, named for the company’s organic granola brand Love Crunch’s 16th anniversary, will feature hands-on volunteer events at Feed the Children distribution centers, food banks and charity partners across 16 US cities and additional Canadian locations. Communities will come together to pack and distribute food to help families affected by food insecurity.

“Love Crunch was founded on the belief that food can be a powerful way to give back, and that same belief has guided our 25-year partnership with Feed the Children,” said Arjan Stephens, president of Nature’s Path. “By working together, we’re able to support families experiencing food insecurity with organic nourishment and community-centered care.”

“Together, we are building a future where no child goes to bed hungry.” — Emily Callahan | president and CEO | Feed the Children

As of 2026, the company’s partnership with Feed the Children has mobilized more than 135,000 units of specialized aid, including organic food for families recovering from Hurricane Helene and the California wildfires. Through the Sweet 16 Acts of Love initiative, Nature’s Path will help deliver hundreds of thousands more meals to children and their families across North America.

“At Feed the Children, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow and thrive,” said Emily Callahan, president and CEO of Feed the Children. “Our long-standing partnership with Nature’s Path helps make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. Together, we are building a future where no child goes to bed hungry.”

Starting at Feed the Children’s Oklahoma City headquarters, the initiative will take place in these 16 cities: Birmingham, AL, Chandler, AZ, Anaheim, CA, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Manchester, CT, Fort Myers, FL, Chicago, Elkhart, IN, Boston, Bethlehem, PA, La Vergne, TN, Haltom City, TX, and Seattle.
