Companion Baking Expands Support of No Kid Hungry

Companion Baking has teamed up with grocers Schnucks, Straubs and Fresh Thyme to support No Kid Hungry, a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a non-profit that works to end childhood hunger in the United States. By partnering with No Kid Hungry, Companion Baking aims to provide awareness and funds to help feed hungry children in the St. Louis community, which is now more important than ever during the coronavirus pandemic. Together, Companion, Schnucks, Straubs and Fresh Thyme will donate 50 cents per loaf of Companion Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread sold over the course of the 2020-2021 school year.

Aiming to sell 50,000 loaves of the Companion Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread by the end of June 2021, Companion and Schnucks hope to raise $25,000, which will provide up to 250,000 meals to hungry children in the St. Louis area. “Selling the new Companion Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread will help ensure our local kids get the food they need during this crisis and beyond,” said Josh Allen, Founder of Companion Baking and a team member of the STL Chefs Cycle for No Kid Hungry team.

Companion Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread can be purchased for $4.99 at 55 Schnucks locations throughout the St. Louis area.

In addition, Fresh Thyme is selling the Companion Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread in all 70 stores, and Straub’s Fine Groceries is selling the Companion Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread in four stores throughout the St. Louis area.
