Healthy Choice soups, along with their parent company, ConAgra Foods, has a foundation set up to help fight childhood hunger by generating awareness about the cause, working with partners to provide solutions and mobilizing resources to help kids get the nourishment they need.
The ConAgra Foundation has set up grants that currently provide:
- Six Food-America food banks across the country for a two year period
- 23 food banks in 20 states will receive Hunger-Free Summer Grants
- Low income families make healthy decisions with their food budgets through their Cooking Matters program
- Children that need access to food programs during weekends and school vacations through the BackPack Program
- Distribution truck grants to allow food banks to get food to those who need it most.
How can you get involved? You can organize a food drive with neighbors or with your school. The ConAgra Foods Foundation’s website has information on how to do so, with detailed instructions for running a successful food drive - http://www.conagrafoodsfoundation.org/help-conagra-foods-foundation/organize-food-drive.jsp
Happy Giving!
