WK Kellogg Co Joins Forces with Mayors Alliance to Combat Childhood Hunger Across 50 States

WK Kellogg Co has announced a strategic partnership with the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger, a nonpartisan coalition operating in collaboration with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign.

The alliance brings together over 500 mayors from across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., representing a unified front of local leaders dedicated to eradicating food insecurity among youth.

Stacy Flathau, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at WK Kellogg Co, commented on the objective of the partnership:

"WK Kellogg Co has a longstanding commitment to ensuring all kids have the healthy food they need to thrive. We are honoured to support the Mayors Alliance and No Kid Hungry in their mission to empower local leaders, elevate community-driven solutions and create lasting change toward this important cause."

Strategic Alignment: 'Feeding Happiness'

The partnership underscores WK Kellogg Co's commitment to increasing access to nutritious food, building upon its long-standing support of the No Kid Hungry campaign.

Internally, the move aligns with the company’s sustainable business strategy, "Feeding Happiness." This framework focuses on making eating well easier and supporting community wellbeing. By partnering with the Mayors Alliance, the cereal giant aims to empower city leaders to move from intention to action, providing the resources and relationships necessary to scale community-driven solutions.

Operational Footprint and Local Impact

The collaboration holds specific resonance in communities where WK Kellogg Co maintains a significant operational presence. The company highlighted deep connections with cities represented in the Alliance, including Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Memphis, Tennessee—both key plant locations—as well as its corporate hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan.

Aaron Goldstein, Senior Manager, Local Government Relations at No Kid Hungry, emphasised the role of municipal leadership:

"We know that mayors are on the frontlines of innovation, and this partnership ensures they have the resources, relationships and momentum to end hunger in their communities."

Mark Behnke, Mayor of Battle Creek, added a local perspective: "WK Kellogg Co has long been a vital part of the Battle Creek community, and we're proud to see their impact reaching far beyond our city. The Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger plays a critical role in helping communities like ours work toward a future where no child goes without the food they need to succeed."
