Good Shepherd Food-Bank & The Pampered Chef
Partner For Hunger Relief
More than 25 million Americans rely on charitable food assistance to make ends meet, according to America's Second Harvest - the Nation's Food Bank Network. Currently, Good Shepherd Food-Bank (GSFB) and The Pampered Chef are working together to fight hunger in Maine. Becky Davis, a local, independent Pampered Chef Consultant, recently presented a check for $7,311 to GSFB. Since every dollar donated to the food bank enables them to provide more than $12.50 in value of food, this donation will equate to more than $91,000 worth of food to hunger relief agencies throughout Maine.
These funds represent customer and consultant donations from The Pampered Chef's Round Up from the Heart charitable campaign that raises funds for America's Second Harvest affiliate Food-Banks.
More than $11 Million Raised Nationally
With the work of Pampered Chef Independent Consultants and customers, the Round-Up from the Heart Campaign has raised more than $11 million dollars to fight America's growing hunger problem.
"The Pampered Chef's mission is to enhance the quality of family life. We have been working with America's Second Harvest for 16 years to ensure that there is a place at the table for everyone," said Johnna Purcell, Director of Corporate Communications for The Pampered Chef. "The round-Up from the Heart campaign allow us to reach out to those in need in communities across the U.S. that our Consultants serve."
The campaign runs through August 31, 2007, and is promoted by Pampered Chef Consultants at in-home demonstrations called Cooking Shows. To contribute to the program, customers can round up their order to the nearest dollar or more. Additionally, when customers purchase the Round-Up from the Heart Trivet, The Pampered Chef donates $2 for every trivet sold.
