The CenturyLink Campaign to Fight Hunger, a two-week online food drive that ended June 15, benefits over 140 food banks located in communities the company serves across the U.S. and abroad. Total donations to the campaign ($1.4 million) were matched up to $1 million by the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation.  

"CenturyLink is proud to partner with so many food banks in the ongoing fight against hunger," said Sondra Smith, director of corporate social responsibility. "In addition to providing meals for families and individuals in need, we want to raise awareness of hunger and the painstaking year-round efforts that food banks undertake to address this need in their communities."

Since its inception in 2009, donations from CenturyLink's annual food drive have provided the equivalent of more than 80 million meals to local food banks in the company's operating areas.

The CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation matching funds will be distributed to participating food banks based on the dollar amount of donations directed to them through the campaign's online donation site.
