Ardent Mills partners again with MLS team Colorado Rapids in "Corners to Curb Hunger"

Ardent Mills, a Denver-based flour-milling and ingredient company, said it is partnering for a second year with the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer (MLS) for a season-long giving program to benefit the Food Bank of the Rockies.

“With every corner kick by the Colorado Rapids this season, we will donate 500 meals to fight hunger through Food Bank of the Rockies,” said Dan Dye, CEO, Ardent Mills. “If they score on a kick, we will increase the donation to 1,000 meals. Last year, the Rapids made 199 corner kicks. We were able to donate 100,000 meals to battle hunger in this region through this effort.”

Ardent Mills said it will also be hosting a food drive later this season to "Kick Hunger," where fans will be encouraged to bring non-perishable food items or cash donations to a Rapids game to support Food Bank of the Rockies. And in partnership with the Colorado Rapids and Denver Nuggets, Ardent Mills is sponsoring the Team Fit program, which is designed to educate elementary and middle school students on healthy eating and fitness.
