American Roland Food Corporation Partners with Fairway Market to Donate a Portion of Proceeds to Food Bank For New York City

During the month of September and in honor of back-to-school month, American Roland Food Corporation will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Steel Cut Oats and Quick-Cooking Oats at Fairway Markets in Douglaston and Red Hook to Food Bank For New York City. A portion of proceeds in Pelham will benefit Food Bank for Westchester. Roland® Steel Cut Oats are made from the finest quality all-natural oats. With a hearty texture and a rich, nutty taste, Steel Cut Oats are a great choice for back-to-school breakfasts.

“We are proud to support Food Bank For New York City,” said Lisa Kartzman, Director, Public Relations for Roland Foods. “Roland Foods has a long history of supporting charitable organizations, and as a New York-based company Food Bank For New York City is a particularly important cause for us.”

Food Bank For New York City is one of the country's largest food banks, with the mission of ending hunger in New York City by organizing food, information and support for community survival and dignity.  Nearly 3 million New Yorkers experience difficulty affording food — an astounding number and one that continues to rise. Emergency food providers are already struggling to stretch shrinking resources to meet unprecedented need. Just this year, cuts in the federal Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) resulted in the loss of 11 million meals at food pantries and soup kitchens in New York City alone.

American Roland Food Corp. is a Manhattan-based food import company. After more than 77 years in the business, American Roland Food Corp carries more than 1400 imported food products. Consistent quality products and large inventory here in the US, have earned the company a position of leadership in the industry and a welcome place in restaurant pantries, home kitchens, and on market shelves.

Roland Foods is committed to making food available to those less fortunate and participates in a variety of hunger relief events throughout the year. For more information on American Roland Food Corp please visit www.RolandFoods.com or become a fan on Facebook and follow on Twitter!
