Tally for Human Bean's Annual Summer Food Drive Adds Up to Over 200,000 Meals

The Human Bean hosted its 11th Annual Food Drive at drive-thru locations across the United States last month. On Friday, August 16th, one dollar for every drink sold was earmarked for local food programs in Human Bean communities.

Customers visiting the family of drive-thrus on that special day supported an estimated 202,998 meals for local food pantry shelves. In the summer when many food banks are running low on supplies, this fundraiser helps ensure those in need have access to nutritious meals.

On average, food programs are able to stretch one dollar to provide three meals. Last year, Human Bean drive-thrus were able to fund the equivalent of 179,184 meals. Each participating location chooses a local food bank in their community to support.

The Human Bean's next collective effort is coming up on Friday, October 18th. During the 19th Annual Coffee for a Cure, 100% of food and beverage sales will go directly toward the treatment and care of people battling breast cancer.
