THE PROBLEM

Protein Is the Missing Piece

Food banks across America work tirelessly to support families facing hunger. But one essential nutrient remains difficult to source consistently: protein.

Today, only 14% of food distributed through the charitable food system is protein, despite it being one of the most requested nutritional needs.

Protein is more expensive to source, harder to transport and dependent on cold-chain infrastructure the charitable food system was never designed to support.

That’s why the protein gap exists, and why this campaign matters.

THE SOLUTION

A Solution Built to Scale

HATCH connects American farms to food banks, delivering high-quality protein where it’s needed most.

In 2025 alone, HATCH delivered more than 102 million protein-rich meals to families across the country.

Now, HATCH and the CDC Foundation are partnering to build the infrastructure needed to deliver up to 2 billion protein-rich meals annually.
