Progressive, the United States’ number one motorcycle insurer is bringing their “Corn for Kids” program back for a second round.
The program, which debuted last year, allows bikers across the country to help their communities by eating free corn. The insurer is giving away hot roasted corn at motorcycle rallies across America, while also encouraging people to make small donations to their local food banks.
Specifically, “Corn for Kids” benefits Feeding America food banks across the nation, helping them feed children in need, as well as their families and other related charities. In its inaugural year, participating bikers ate 46,000 ears of corn and fed almost 170,000 families via their food bank donations.
Marcy Gray, a motorcycle product manager at Progressive, as well as a long-time rider herself, said in a press release, “Hot, sweet roasted corn is the perfect treat to attract bikers; we are thrilled to see so many partake in the program and hope to increase participation this year.”
Progressive’s “Corn for Kids” program will be offered at fifteen different motorcycle rallies, all of which are listed on Progressive’s website and their motorcycle Facebook page. Beginning April 15th, the general public (even non-bikers) will be able to participate by clicking a button on Progressive’s website to show their support. Each click will result in a meal being donated to a local Feeding America food bank.
Progressive’s goal for this year is to provide half a million meals to needy children and their families.
