Brown-Forman said it’s donating some 2,000 meals a day to local food pantries.

 The donations are going to select food pantry organizations in the California neighborhood and Louisville community.

According to a press release, the company’s cafe–The Bourbon Street Café (the company’s on-site employee restaurant) and Event Planning team–will be assembling approximately 2,000 bagged lunches each day, for a total of close to 40,000 meals for the month.  The lunches will consist of a sandwich, snacks, fruit, and dessert.  The team will assemble the meals at Brown-Forman’s campus, and is partnering with Wiltshire Pantry to deliver and distribute to more than ten organizations. All health and safety precautions are being taken, including working no less than six feet apart, frequent hand washing, work station sanitization and well checks. Minimal contact is required for food delivery, the company said.

This plan will be executed from April 1 to May 1.

Brown-Forman has also donated more than $1-million throughout the pandemic and is producing hand sanitizer.
