CARING FOR MILITARY MENTAL WELLNESS
“Making a Difference, Bite by Bite” is one of the programs under the Bob Evans Farms Our Farm Salutes umbrella, which we launched in 2016 as a way of giving our military heroes and their families the support they so greatly deserve. Now in its third year, “Making a Difference, Bite by Bite” is focused on supporting valuable mental health services for military heroes and their families.
In the program’s inaugural year in 2021, we donated $100,000 to the USO. We are proud to continue to support the work they do to improve the lives of service members and keep them connected to their families and homes with an increased level of support in 2023 with a donation of $125,000.
OUR PRODUCTS
From July through September, select Bob Evans® dinner
sides, breakfast products and Owens® Sausage products will feature
the Our Farm Salutes and USO logos to pay tribute to military
service members and raise awareness of the need for services that
support their mental well-being. Research shows that the stressors
of military life and separation from family during deployment
increase the risk of mental health issues.
Bob Evans Farms
is partnering with celebrity chef
Andre Rush, a military veteran who worked in the White House as a chef
during four administrations to share his story of resilience and
the benefits of bringing people together through food.
