With the first day of summer upon us, temperatures aren’t the only thing rising – so is food insecurity. Which is why alongside its nationwide expansion in all Total Wine & More stores, Mission Craft Cocktails has doubled down on its purpose-driven quest to ‘pour it forward’ and deliver real impact with a long-term, nationwide partnership with Feeding America. Mission Craft Cocktails’ initial $150,000 pledge will help provide 1.5 million meals for Americans experiencing hunger through the Feeding America network of over 200 food banks and 60,000 meal programs across the country.
Mission Craft Cocktails’ Announces Nationwide Partnership w/ Feeding America Providing 1.5 Million Meals Across the US
Building on the Southern California-born brand’s once regional footprint – having funded over 600,000 meals for families in need via Community Action Partnership of Orange County with their 5% of sales pledge – Mission Craft Cocktail Founders Amit Singh and Marcin Malyszko are proud to amplify the brand’s impact and continue to help ensure families across the country have access to the food they need to thrive.
Mission Craft Cocktails’ award-winning bar-strength, 375 mL ready-to-drink cocktails made from locally-sourced Southern California ingredients and premium bar spirits have been consistently recognized as best-in-class – winning Platinum and Consumers’ Choice honors at the SIP Awards and a Platinum and numerous Double Golds at the San Francisco World Wine and Spirits Competition. Beyond this, Singh and Malyszko’s commitment to make an impact in the fight against food insecurity also caught the attention of Ernst & Young LLP. The duo are currently finalists for the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Pacific Southwest Region.
“When we started Mission Craft Cocktails in 2023, our purpose was always crystal clear – to build a premium brand designed to pour it forward and support people experiencing food insecurity. Today is a remarkable milestone, as we take this purpose nationwide and increase our impact 150% in partnership with Feeding America,” note Singh and Malyszko. “We believe in placing just as much care in one another as we do the cocktails we craft.”
Believing all people deserve to have enough food to eat without worrying if they can afford it, Feeding America envisions an America where no one goes hungry. They turn this ethos into action with a nationwide network that ensures everyone can get the food they need with respect and dignity; through advocacy to improve food security for everyone; and by working to address the root causes of food insecurity – including the high cost of living and systematic barriers to opportunity.
“With food banks across the country reporting rising demand, millions of people are turning to the Feeding America network for support,” said Lauren Biedron, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “We are grateful for Mission Craft Cocktails’ generous donation during this critical time. Their commitment to the mission to end hunger will help provide more nutritious food to communities nationwide.”
