For the past four years, McCormick FONA has partnered with Bigger Table to turn excess ingredients into consumable products for food banks across the Midwest. This year, we donated 2,250 lbs. of flavor to create a high-protein, low-sugar beverage for food banks and pantries in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana & Michigan. This is double the amount we donated last year! Thank you to all of our employees who helped support this amazing cause. 💙 #PowerofGiving
