ConAgra Foods and Feeding America are joining forces again this spring to fight child hunger. More than one in five children in the United States doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from. But, there is hope and there are ways to help.
This spring, ConAgra Foods is teaming up with artists Jewel, Owl City and Jay Sean to introduce an original song, “Here’s Hope” as part of their Child Hunger Ends Here campaign. The song leverages the power of music to inspire action, touch hearts and raise awareness for the issue, while motivating consumers to learn how they can help end child hunger in the United States.
To participate, consumers can enter the eight-digit purchase code from specially marked packages of select ConAgra Foods brands at www.childhungerendshere.com. Participating brands include Banquet, Chef Boyardee, Healthy Choice, Hunt’s, Marie Callender’s, Manwich, Orville Redenbacher’s, Peter Pan and Snack Pack. For each code entered through 8/31/12, ConAgra Foods will donate one meal to Feeding America. Consumers can also submit their zip code to enter their local Feeding America food bank into a competition to receive an 80,000 meal donation ($10,000) from ConAgra Foods.
In return for entering a code, consumers can also download original versions of the “Here’s Hope” song recorded by Jewel, Owl City and Jay Sean. The campaign website also includes exclusive interviews, messages and behind-the-scenes videos from the artists.
ConAgra Foods has committed to donate 5 million meals to Feeding America during the 2011-12 school year. For more information, visit www.childhungerendshere.com.
