Why We Started
As one of the world’s largest temperature-controlled logistics solutions providers, we recognize our unique position to do good and make a difference in the communities in which we live and work.
To further act on this responsibility, we created the Lineage Foundation for Good to leverage our access, influence, experience and expertise to reduce food waste and fight food insecurity – a need that was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Mission
To reduce food waste and fight food insecurity by developing a dynamic, real-time and global link between those who commercially produce our food and the individuals, families and communities who need it most.
How We Will Make Our Impact
We support various philanthropic initiatives that have an impact in the communities in which we live and work across the globe.
We are proud to partner with Feeding America, Global FoodBanking Network, and other similarly minded individuals and organizations to expand our reach, our impact and to help feed the world.
Organizations We Support
From Foundation for Good Leadership
"Food insecurity is by far the most pressing issue we are facing as a global human race today. We are working to advance the cross-sector collaboration that is needed to maintain strong food supply chains and efficiently distribute food to those in need."
