The Pound for Pound Challenge is off to an incredible start after its launch during the Season 8 finale of The Biggest Loser. We are once again joining Feeding America’s™ Pound for Pound Challenge – a proven, effective program supported by NBC’s The Biggest Loser and General Mills – in its second year of helping America "Lose Nationally, Feed Locally."

The program helps people gain support in their effort to lose weight as they, in turn, help local food banks like ours raise funds to assist individuals, families, and children struggling with hunger in our area. All we’re asking is that you visit www.pfpchallange.com and join us in the Challenge.

There are plenty of ways you can help! You can sign up to be a Challenge participant, support someone taking the Challenge with a pledge, become a Challenge Champion in our community, or start a Challenge team at your company or organization. It’s easy. And the more who sign up or pledge in our area, the more we can help fight hunger in our community.

Pledges are accepted through June 30, 2010.

Peter Pan® Peanut Butter is donating more
than 1 million meals to Feeding America!
January 2010
Knowing 1 in 5 children struggles with hunger in America, Peter Pan Peanut Butter has kicked off the "Spreading Childhood Magic" campaign.

Visit a special interactive website at (go to site and click on "Charitable Giving") where children and parents enter into a storybook experience of learning about childhood hunger and how they can help fight it in their communities. Participants are encouraged to:

• Pack a peanut butter sandwich as part of their lunch and donate the money they save to Feeding America.
• Organize neighborhood food drives to benefit their local food banks.
• Find out from their local food banks how they may be able to volunteer for the hunger-relief cause in their communities.

ConAgra Foods has also committed a donation of $200,000 to Feeding America through this promotion!

Through July 2010
To commemorate National Cheesecake Day on Thursday, July 30, 2009, The Cheesecake Factory unveiled their new flavor of cheesecake, Stefanie’s Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake, and announced that for every slice of this cheesecake sold, $0.25 will be donated to Feeding America with 75% of the funds raised through this campaign given directly to the Foodbank.

The Pampered Chef “Round-Up from the Heart®”
A year-long campaign that benefits Feeding America. The premier direct seller of high-quality kitchen tools, along with its nationwide sales field of 60,000 independent Consultants and guests, The Pampered Chef has donated more than $13 million to Feeding America to date. The company's Consultants will promote the campaign at Cooking Shows, or in-home cooking demonstrations, across the country. Customers can contribute to the program in two ways:
1. Rounding up Cooking Show purchase totals to the nearest dollar or more, with funds benefiting local food banks in the region where the donations originated.
2. Purchasing a limited edition Round-Up from the Heart® Trivet — a decorative, brushed copper trivet that can protect counters and tabletops from hot food, be used as a decorative wall accent, or given as a thoughtful gift. For every trivet sold, The Pampered Chef® will contribute $2 to Feeding America.

Ruby Tuesday’s "Cookies for a Cause"
A Dozen Ways to Help Us Fight Hunger In an effort to help feed the hungry, Ruby Tuesday, the casual-dining restaurant company, created the "Cookies for a Cause – A Dozen Ways to Help Fight Hunger" campaign. During this ongoing campaign, ten percent of the sales of Ruby Tuesday’s gourmet chocolate chip and white-chocolate and macadamia-nut cookies, sold by the dozen, will be donated to local food banks. “Cookies for a Cause” is a nationwide fundraiser, benefiting food bank members of Feeding America across the country. The promotion will include contributions from the sale of Ruby Tuesday’s cookies in its restaurants, take-out orders, and through the company’s extensive catering program. Visit the Cookies for a Cause website for more information.

Snickers Bar Hunger
Feeding America is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Mars, Inc. brand SNICKER’S®. In June 2009, SNICKER’S launched the Bar Hunger campaign where full size SNICKER’S bars will tout “Join Us In Providing 3 million Meals to Those In Need” and include the Feeding America logo. A portion of Snickers bar proceeds will come directly home to our Foodbank!
