- Feeding America’s mission is to provide food to Americans through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage the country in the fight to end hunger. Stericycle and our Women’s Resource for Impact, Success, and Empowerment (WRISE) group have joined Team Feed to help end hunger in America.
