A Global Feast for Good
With the support and guidance of The Giving Department, ICG launched “Million Meals” in 2022. This global initiative aimed to help alleviate hunger in communities across 12 countries where ICG has a local presence. Our team conducted thorough research to identify the most impactful local food banks and charities in each location, forging strategic partnerships between ICG and leading global food charities to maximise reach and social impact.
It was important to ICG that the campaign go beyond financial contributions and engage their employees. ICG encouraged participation through a variety of initiatives, including volunteering, fundraising events, and awareness campaigns. This multifaceted approach not only provided vital support to those in need but also fostered a strong sense of community and purpose within the global ICG team.
The results have been truly inspiring. Over three years, the Million Meals campaign has successfully delivered more than 3 million meals, supporting more than 300,000 individuals and engaging over 20% of ICG’s global workforce in volunteer activities. To date, the campaign has provided total funding of more than £1.6 million to its charity partners.
The Million Meals campaign serves as a powerful testament to the transformative impact that can be achieved through strategic partnerships, active employee engagement, and a commitment to addressing global challenges with a localised approach.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how The Giving Department can help your organisation leverage its resources and employee talent to create meaningful and sustainable social good.
The [Million Meals] initiative provides much needed help to those in need due to food poverty and the cost of living crisis in the communities in which ICG colleagues live and work. Engaging our people in volunteering opportunities and delivering over three million meals around the world through these charitable partnerships is tremendously valuable, and reflects the values and culture of ICG.
