02 Jan 2020 --- The Cargill Foundation has distributed US$10 million to US nonprofits, in 2019, to minimize the opportunity gap for low-income children and advance childhood nutrition. The funding focused around the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metropolitan area in the US – also known as Twin Cities – with Cargill partnering with several local organizations. On any given day, one in eight children (162,500) in Minnesota are at risk of hunger, the company says. The Cargill Foundation notes that it chose this pressing social issue as a priority because a stable, nutritious diet is a necessary foundation for children’s health, growth, learning and success.
