Sinclair and Feeding America® Launch Sinclair Cares: Fill the Food Banks

Fundraising Partnership to Help Provide Meals During the Holiday Season

Sinclair to Donate $25,000

BALTIMORE & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sinclair today announced the company will partner with Feeding America® to launch Sinclair Cares: Fill the Food Banks, a fundraising campaign to help provide meals to families across the U.S. during the holiday season. The initiative, which begins today, will run through December 25.

Through financial contributions, viewers can help provide access to meals for members of their local communities. All donations will directly benefit the Feeding America food bank serving the donor’s local area, determined by the ZIP code associated with their method of payment.

The campaign will be supported by a $25,000 donation from Sinclair.

Through Feeding America, every $1 dollar donated helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local partner food banks.

Sinclair Cares: Fill the Food Banks will be supported through news coverage and public service campaigns across the company’s owned and/or operated television stations.

“The holiday season can be especially difficult for families facing food insecurity. Through Sinclair Cares: Fill the Food Banks, we’re uniting our local stations and viewers to make a real impact in their own communities, a true reflection of our company’s commitment to Enriching Local Lives,” said Rob Weisbord, Chief Operating Officer and President of Local Media at Sinclair. “Together, we can help ensure that every family has a meal on the table for the holidays.”

"Food brings us together, especially during the holidays. This season, we’re proud to partner with Sinclair to help ensure everyone can bring meals home and celebrate together," said Lauren Biedron, senior vice president of corporate partnerships at Feeding America.
