Waterton Wins Title Of “2025 NYKO - Hunger Fighting Heroes”

On January 16th, CAA hosted it's annual peanut butter & jelly food drive in partnership with CORT and Move for Hunger during the New Year Kick-off Event at The Old Post Office. Peanut butter is highly requested by food banks because it’s a great source of protein, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a nutritious, delicious meal for people of all ages.

With food insecurity on the rise, member companies engaged in a friendly competition to provide the largest donation.  Waterton's donations accounted for 300 of the jars collected (pictured), earning them the title of "NYKO 2025 - Hunger Fighting Heroes!" 

Our friends from CORT Chicago picked up all the donated food to deliver to local food banks.  

Thank you to our amazing members and partners for making a new Year's resolution to help fight hunger! And an extra big shout out to Waterton for their impressive donation.
