California vintner continues partnership to help provide another 2.5 million meals this holiday season
Joel Gott Wines, an award-winning and family-owned portfolio of elegant, balanced and affordable wines, celebrates the expansion of its philanthropic commitment through the ‘Gott for Good’ initiative by helping provide 2.5 million meals1through the Feeding America® network of 200 member food banks nationwide through December 31, 2024. This holiday season marks Joel Gott Wines’ sixth consecutive year of partnership with Feeding America, which has resulted in over 10 million meals donated in total since 2019. The ongoing partnership reaffirms the winery’s commitment to helping people across the United States facing immense food insecurity2:
- Last year, nearly 47 million individuals lived in food-insecure households
- Among children, more than 14 million—1 in 5—were living in food-insecure households
New this year, Joel Gott is proud to offer a scan to donate feature for those looking to support a brand that gives back this holiday season, while also benefiting their local community. Beginning October 1st, Joel Gott Wines fans are invited to scan a QR code to prompt an incremental $1 donation to Feeding America for every scan. No purchase is required which further reinforces Joel Gott Wine’s commitment in the movement to end hunger. The QR code may be found on Gott for Good in-store displays across the country. Shoppers may make a one-time or monthly donation to help individuals and families facing hunger by visiting https://give.feedingamerica.org/a/donate.
As a fourth-generation vintner and business owner who’s proud to give back, Joel Gott is passionate about continuing to elevate the Gott for Good initiative to help make a difference during the holiday season. “Being able to make an impact with something as important as food security is meaningful for myself and all of us at the winery,” said Joel Gott, owner of Joel Gott Wines. “It’s gratifying to see the good we’re doing with Feeding America, and I’m excited to see more positive outcomes from our sixth year of partnership.”
