Leading water filtration brand partners with local hunger-relief nonprofit for the second consecutive year to celebrate National Nutrition Month
AUSTIN, Texas, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aquasana, maker of award-winning water filters for the home, today announced the Austin-based company is partnering with Central Texas Food Bank during the 2025 Amplify Austin Day, when residents across a seven-county region come together to support more than 700 nonprofits during a single 24-hour period. Aquasana's $5,000 donation will be used to match individual donations made on Thursday, March 6 to help the largest hunger-relief charity in Central Texas, which feeds more than 60 million meals annually to those in need.
For the second year in a row, Aquasana's donation is being made in honor of National Nutrition Month®, an annual campaign created 52 years ago by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Every March, the campaign highlights the importance of making informed food choices and developing healthful eating habits, including drinking plenty of clean water for optimal hydration.
"The growing cost of living, combined with increasing barriers to access healthy food, means that now one in five kids throughout Central Texas are food insecure," said Sari M. Vatske, President and CEO of the Central Texas Food Bank. "This year's matching gift from Aquasana and our other corporate sponsors will go toward helping expand our Feeding Futures School Pantry Program, which supports children and their families in a familiar and accessible location. We are grateful for this and every contribution that helps us fill empty tables."
"We're thrilled to partner with Central Texas Food Bank again as they continue to lead our community's fight against hunger," said Derek Mellencamp, General Manager at Aquasana. "National Nutrition Month is an important reminder that not all of our neighbors have equitable access to nutritious food — including filtered, healthier water. In 2024, our matching donation to CTFB during Amplify Austin helped raise enough to cover the groceries of more than 30,000 families. We are honored to support their mission and help nourish thousands of hungry children and families throughout Central Texas and beyond."
To celebrate this year's National Nutrition Month® theme, "Food Connects Us," which spotlights the connection between the foods communities eat and how it affects their health throughout life, Aquasana will also be giving away its award-winning Clean Water Machine. In addition to removing up to 99% of 78 contaminants at the push of a button – including lead, PFOA/PFOS, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and herbicides, chlorine and more – each replaceable filter cartridge in the sleek and compact countertop system replaces the equivalent of 2,200 plastic bottles of water.
