We are incredibly thankful for everyone who joined us at our Bigger Table volunteer event last week at Imbibe. 🤍

This holiday season, volunteers packed their cars with boxes of high-protein, high-fiber smoothie mix to deliver to their local food banks—helping move 400,000+ servings into communities across Chicagoland. Your generosity and willingness to serve made a meaningful difference for families facing food insecurity.

As part of our shared mission to fight food insecurity, ADM and Bigger Table have partnered on a special high-protein pancake mix designed for local food banks. This mix will help serve over 400,000 food-insecure neighbors across Chicagoland.

From competing in the kitchen to giving back with every stack, colleagues showed what it means to combine community, innovation, and impact.

Bigger Table is featured in Food Processing Magazine's latest article on the benefits and challenges of using upcycle ingredients. The piece highlights our project that produced nearly one million servings of a low-sugar, nutrient-rich smoothie using donated and upcycled ingredients, distributed to local charities and food banks.

With the support from partners like Chicagoland Food & Beverage Network, we're turning food industry byproducts into valuable nutrition for communities in need.

It's so exciting that people keep asking where our smoothies can be purchased! However, they are only available through food banks, food pantries, and charities serving communities to address food insecurity. Our products are made from ingredients generously donated by a variety of companies which we turn into tasty, healthy products like the smoothie which we donate to food banks and food pantries. We are producing more smoothie now and will be donating to food banks again soon.

We work with companies to upcycle ingredients that are often destined to become food waste. In this case, we turned some high quality protein into a delicious smoothie which we donated to food banks all over the Midwest. In this case, our product made its way to the South Michigan Food Bank! We are so proud to be able to support communities in this way!

A huge thank you to Bigger Table for donating over 8,000 of their shelf-stable mixed berry smoothie packets to help promote nutrition and aid in the fight against hunger!

Their generosity ensures that our community has delicious and nutritious options. Thank you, Bigger Table, for making a difference!
