In a September 2015 interview with WCCO, Terry Clark, then senior vice president of marketing and brand at UnitedHealthcare, discussed the company's partnership with WCCO and Second Harvest Heartland to address senior hunger. Clark stated that more than 9 million seniors nationwide face food insecurity, but only 3 million receive help, and that about 23% of people eligible for federal hunger assistance are receiving it. He described UnitedHealthcare's support of a dollar-for-dollar donation match up to $40,000 through October 31st, and said the company had thousands of employees volunteering with partner organizations. Clark noted that seniors are often overlooked in discussions about hunger, particularly those living alone, and encouraged caregivers to call a hotline for information on free food resources. He praised Second Harvest Heartland's efficiency, saying the organization turns one dollar into what would otherwise cost five, and described them as innovative partners who drive every dollar back into the community. Clark said the goal was to close the gap on hunger issues and reach multiple constituents, including seniors and caregivers, in Minnesota.
