On Tuesday, Sept. 19, Mosaic employees across North America will dedicate their time and talents to fighting hunger as part of Mosaic Cares Day.

United States

Last year, Mosaic invested nearly $3.9 million throughout our North America operations area to address food insecurity and hunger. For September’s Mosaic Cares Day, our employees in the U.S. will volunteer at seven hunger relief organizations in Florida and Louisiana to fight food insecurity in local communities.

“Achieving our mission to help the world grow the food it needs means being involved at all levels,” said Chris Johnson, Sr. Social Responsibility Specialist. “We’re excited for our employees to have these hands-on experiences on Mosaic Cares Day as we team up with these impactful organizations in the fight to end hunger.”
