    Bank of America Give a Meal Campaign
    The holiday Give A Meal campaign, sponsored by Bank of America, begins on Monday, November 12, 2012 and ends on Monday, January 7, 2013. 
     
    Feeding America’s Give a Meal program gives holiday shoppers a chance to support a great cause by helping provide food to the nearly 50 million Americans who struggle with hunger. And thanks to Bank of America, donors can triple their giving power through the Give a Meal campaign.
     
    For every $1 donated via www.bankofamerica.com/give or www.feedingamerica.org/giveameal, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation will contribute an additional $2, up to a total match of $1,500,000. Additionally, donors can also choose to direct their contribution to WCFB or Feeding America. 
     
    shopkick App
    The shopkick App works by allowing iPhone and Android phone users to collect “kickbucks” by opening the app and “checking-in” when they come close to, or enter, retail stores, and in certain cities simply for walking into partner stores. Kickbucks will then be funded out of the nearly $500,000 that has been provided by Kraft Foods and other sponsors so that the user can spend collected kickbucks on real world charitable actions like, feeding families in America. Every 14 kickbucks will provide one meal to those struggling with hunger. You can learn more at www.shopkick.com.   

    ConAgra Child Hunger Ends Here
    With one in four American children struggling with hunger, ConAgra Foods®, in partnership with Feeding America®, is asking consumers to act now by taking part in a new initiative to fight child hunger. ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here™ campaign is designed to draw attention to child hunger in the United States and provide consumers with simple ways to help end it. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 17.2 million children are at risk of hunger across the nation in communities that include rural towns; suburban neighborhoods and urban centers making it clear that hunger is a reality for many Americans.

    Child Hunger Ends Here brings together some of ConAgra Foods' best known brands as part of the largest cause-marketing program in the company's history. Highlighted by a multi-brand packaging promotion, the airing of a broadcast special on NBC and online and social media extensions, the comprehensive campaign extends ConAgra Foods' long-standing commitment to ending child hunger in America.

    "ConAgra Foods believes no child in the United States should face the risk of hunger," said Gary Rodin, CEO of ConAgra Foods. "Our hope is that people from around the country will lend their support to the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign and help us in our quest to donate enough money so that Feeding America can purchase another 2.5 million meals this year. This is in addition to our donations that help provide more than 1 million meals per month each year."

    Last year the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign generated 2.5 million meals and brought together thousands of people in support of Feeding America as well as the more than 200 member food banks and 63,000 related agencies that rely on Feeding America's services. The campaign builds on a commitment by ConAgra Foods and the ConAgra Foods Foundation to end child hunger, which has resulted in donations of more than 250 million pounds of food to Feeding America since 1993. ConAgra Foods and the ConAgra Foods Foundation have also donated $35 million to Feeding America, including a recent five-year, $10 million pledge from the ConAgra Foods Foundation, the largest donation ever made to Feeding America specifically to fight child hunger.
       

      Round-Up From the Heart Program
      The Pampered Chef has been fighting hunger for 20 years through their Round Up from the Heart program.

      Since 1991, Pampered Chef customers and Consultants have raised nearly $19 million for Feeding America through the program. Pampered Chef’s support touches nearly 100% of our network, so this is truly a national campaign with local impact.

      There are three ways that donations can be generated through this year-long campaign:

      1) Customers can purchase a limited edition Round Up from the Heart trivet. For every trivet sold, The Pampered Chef will donate $2 to the Feeding America national office.
      2) Customers can round up their cooking show orders to the nearest dollar or more. Funds generated through “round ups” are donated to local Feeding America food banks based on the zip code where the cooking show is hosted.
      3) NEW—Customers can purchase a Cookbook for a Cause featuring recipes from stars of popular TLC shows including Cake Boss, DC Cupcakes, Say Yes to the Dress, Kate Plus Eight and more. For each $3 cookbook sold, The Pampered Chef will donate $1 to Feeding America.
