Feeding America

This holiday season, Libby’s Vegetables is launching the first-ever team-based Virtual Canned Food Drive to support Feeding America and the increased demand on its network food banks. Families who raise $1,000 or more for Feeding America will get their pantries stocked up with a year’s supply of canned vegetables from Libby’s - we’ll send you 200 coupons so you can choose your favorite Libby’s vegetables! In addition, Libby’s Vegetables will match up to $30,000 of donations raised by December 13, 2009, to total 350,000 meals for needy families.

GET STARTED TODAY and support families in need in your community! Simply click HERE or the banner above to create your own page, support a friend or give to the cause. Every $5 raised provides 35 meals for needy families.

Libby’s Celebrates Virtual Canned Food Drive Leaders
Jennifer

Libby’s Vegetables is dedicated to bringing families back to the dinner table. In these tough economic times it can be a difficult feat, but Feeding America is working to help make family dinners a reality. This holiday season, Libby’s is supporting Feeding America and would like to celebrate some of our profile leaders for their contributions to the Virtual Canned Food Drive!

Team Leader: Jennifer Leal
Home Town: Westerly, RI
Jennifer's Goal: $100 (and up!)
From Jennifer: “As a young child and even into my teens, I recall the small amount of money my mother had for food. It was the same set amount every month. We did not have the luxury that I have now: the luxury of walking into the kitchen and getting something to eat whenever I want. Do you have that luxury as well? Can you believe that there are people and families that cannot eat when they need too? They are hungry and yet must struggle to have one meal a day? Here is an opportunity to make a big difference.”
