Farmers Feeding the Hungry

America’s food banks and charities continue to need more food, especially high-quality protein foods like eggs, which help build muscle and allow people to feel fuller longer and stay energized. America’s egg farmers donate more than 12 million eggs per year to food banks and charities.

You can help too! Join in our commitment to live more healthfully and give back by pledging to "Eat good. Do good every day."

It’s incredibly simple, and for every pledge made, America’s egg farmers will donate one egg to Feeding America, up to 1 million eggs!
