DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Fresh Thyme Market is dedicated to enriching the lives of the communities they serve and is thrilled to announce the donation of the equivalent of $500,000 in meals to the St. Louis Area Foodbank.

A new study from Feeding America projects the number of food-insecure neighbors in the bi-state region to grow by 43%, including a 65% growth for children and teens.
