New Food Drive 

The Hear2End Hunger Food Drive is dedicated to tackling food insecurity, a pressing issue that impacts 12.8% of U.S. households according to a 2022 USDA study, including vulnerable older adults. Recognizing the critical link between proper nutrition and overall hearing health, Beltone is steadfast in its commitment to both supporting those in need and raising awareness about the importance of nutrition for hearing health. 

Through the month of October 2024, Beltone is rallying the community at participating Beltone locations to come together and contribute to this vital initiative by donating nonperishable food items that will be delivered to local food banks. To show appreciation for donations, participating Beltone locations are offering free hearing screenings and additional special offers.

“At Beltone, we are honored to be recognized by USA TODAY as a Top Hearing Care Retailer for 2024,” says David Molella, president of Beltone North America. “This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care and service to our communities. Through our Hear2End Hunger Food Drive, we aim to give back and address food insecurity, emphasizing the vital connection between nutrition and hearing health. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.”
