Beginning Oct. 1, EcoShield branches nationwide will collect nonperishable food for local food banks and pantries, building on more than 27,000 items donated last year.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EcoShield Pest Solutions, a national leader in residential pest control, today announced the return of its annual Exterminate Hunger food drive, uniting employees, customers, and communities to support local food banks and families in need. Beginning Oct. 1, 2026, EcoShield branches across the United States will collect nonperishable food items in their offices and surrounding communities, partnering with local food banks and pantries so every donation stays in the neighborhoods where EcoShield employees live and work.

Last year, employees, customers, schools, and community members donated 27,166 food items to food banks across the country through Exterminate Hunger. This year, EcoShield aims to build on that impact by encouraging even more people in each community to get involved.

“Exterminate Hunger is just a way to get our people involved in the community and all the communities that we work in. We’ve got a large customer base in the United States and so we’re in a unique position where we can leverage all of that to help those in need,” said Greg Nygren, Co-CEO of EcoShield Pest Solutions, who started the Exterminate Hunger initiative.

Exterminate Hunger began more than 15 years ago with a simple mission: using EcoShield’s reach to make a meaningful difference in the communities it serves. What started as a local effort has grown into a nationwide food drive that brings employees, customers, and communities together around a shared commitment to fighting hunger.

By partnering with local food banks, each EcoShield branch focuses its efforts where they matter most, right in its own community. Together, those local drives add up to a nationwide impact for individuals and families facing food insecurity.

EcoShield invites its customers, neighbors, and communities to join this year’s effort to Exterminate Hunger across the country.
