Beltone Collects Over 20,000 Food Items in Hunger Relief Drive

Hearing technology company Beltone has concluded its third annual Hear2End Hunger food drive, collecting over 20,000 non-perishable food items for hunger-relief organizations nationwide. The initiative, held throughout September in recognition of Hunger Action Month, surpassed its goal of 20,000 items and saw a collection increase of over 41% compared to the previous year.

The drive, which began in 2024, has seen year-over-year growth as Beltone Hearing Centers and their communities collaborate to support local hunger-relief efforts. The company states this growth reflects the generosity and commitment of hearing care professionals, patients, and community members.

As part of the initiative, the Beltone Foundation recognized three hearing centers for their collection efforts with additional donations. The Uniontown, Pennsylvania location led the drive, collecting 6,927 items, and will receive a $3,000 donation to a local food bank. Locations in Visalia, California, and Warsaw, Indiana, will receive donations of $1,000 and $500, respectively.

With over 85 years in business, Beltone aims to make quality hearing care accessible. The company has indicated it looks forward to continuing the Hear2End Hunger tradition in 2027, bringing hearing centers and communities together for a fourth year of giving back.
