Armanino LLP, one of the 25 largest accounting and business consulting firms in the U.S., announced today its charitable giving arm, the Armanino Foundation, is granting nearly $20,000 to local food banks to assist with grocery shortages following the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak. The grants will help local food pantries stock up on critical food items for families in need throughout their communities.

“We are very moved by the generosity of the Armanino Foundation during this great time of need,” said Diane Stark, manager of foundation partnerships at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. “Their support is helping us to open new ‘pop-up’ pantries and get more food to our community.”

Thanks to generous contributions from both Armanino staff and partners, the Armanino Foundation has granted $1,500 each to help local food banks stock their shelves in our communities.”
