Storm Creek Donates to Feeding America's COVID-19 Response Fund

Storm Creek, Eagan, Minn., announced that it has donated $7,500 to support the hungry through Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund.

The funds will go to support overrun food banks and pantries struggling to keep up with demand during the coronavirus pandemic. According to Feeding America, more than 41 million Americans are currently unemployed. In fact, more than 54 million people nationwide, including 18 million children, may experience food insecurity because of COVID-19. It only takes $1 to buy 10 meals for those in need.

“The impact of COVID-19 on hunger was sudden and astronomical,” said Storm Creek CEO Teresa Fudenberg. “Right away, we were compelled to help. We leaned on our Wear For Better mission, whereby we utilize apparel sales to drive dollars back into our communities.”

Storm Creek raised the funds through its Work From Home Collection, launched in March 2020, pledging 10 percent of sales from the collection to Feeding America. The collection is comprised of a variety of stylish and cozy apparel, ideal for those working from home or essential workers on the front lines of COVID-19.

Additionally, ASI matched the donation dollar-for-dollar through its ASICares Fund Drive.

“Giving back to the community is at the heart of Storm Creek, and woven into everything we do,” Fudenberg said. “We are proud to still keep our mission of giving at the forefront amidst these challenging times. A huge thanks to the ASI organization for partnering with us. Together, our dollars will provide 150,000 meals to those who need them most.”
