In July 2025, Amazon launched a partnership with Hunger Fight, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating childhood hunger across Northeast Florida and what began as a logistics collaboration has since evolved into a transformative relationship that has fundamentally reshaped how Hunger Fight moves food across the country and into the hands of the children who need it most.
Before partnering with Amazon, Hunger Fight faced significant logistical challenges in transporting large volumes of food both nationally and locally, with the cost and complexity of coordinating cross-country shipments and last-mile school deliveries placing a heavy burden on the organization’s limited resources.
Amazon stepped in to change that, providing pro bono transportation support that has allowed Hunger Fight to redirect its focus and funding toward its core mission: ensuring no child goes hungry. Amazon now facilitates two distinct types of pro bono logistics transportation for Hunger Fight, each addressing a critical link in the supply chain.
First, Amazon oversees a great deal of Hunger Fight’s inbound and outbound cross-country shipments, managing full semi-truck loads that move food and supplies across state lines, eliminating one of the most costly and operationally complex aspects of Hunger Fight’s logistics and enables the organization to receive and distribute large-scale purchases with greater speed, efficiency and reliability.
Second, Epic Logistics LLC connected Hunger Fight with Amazon, independent Delivery Service Partners (DSP) in Amazon’s network, who manages the critical last-mile deliveries, transporting food directly to Hunger Fight’s 23 collaborative partners and the over 600 Title 1 elementary schools the organization serves across Northeast Florida. Through this partnership, Epic Logistics guarantees that approximately 17,000 Title 1 elementary school children receive nutritious meals every weekend, meals that for many of these students represent their only reliable source of food outside of the school cafeteria.
Since the partnership’s inception, Amazon has provided 57 pro bono routes and transported over 506,000 lbs of food, a testament to the scale and consistency of this collaboration that represents more than logistics milestones; it represents over 3 million meals reaching children and families who need them most.
The Amazon and Hunger Fight partnership exemplifies the power of combining corporate logistics expertise with nonprofit mission-driven work; by removing transportation as a barrier, Amazon has empowered Hunger Fight to operate more efficiently, serve more communities, and ultimately feed more children. The dual-support model, national line haul paired with local DSP deliveries, creates a seamless end-to-end supply chain that ensures food moves from origin to destination without interruption.
This collaboration also highlights the vital role that independent Delivery Service Partners in Amazon’s network play beyond traditionale-commerce. DSPs like Epic Logistics are not just delivering packages, they deliver hope, nutrition, and stability to some of the most vulnerable communities in the country.
As Amazon continues to grow its partnerships, the Hunger Fight model serves as a powerful blueprint for how pro bono logistics can drive meaningful, measurable social impact at scale, proving that when corporate resources meet community need, the result is nothing short of transformational.
