Annie Chun's Partners With World Food Program USA to Help Fight Global Hunger
Number One Soup Brand in the All-Natural Channel Enables Consumers to Make a Difference, One Bowl at a Time
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., March 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Annie Chun's, Inc., the leading producer of healthy, all-natural Pan-Asian foods, today announced the extension of its four-year charitable partnership with World Food Program USA (WFP USA) to help support the life-saving work of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and its fight against world hunger. As part of the partnership, from now through June 30, Annie Chun's will match every donation made to WFP USA, from 25 cents to $25,000.00, at www.1bowl.org. All donations received will go toward providing nutritious meals for hungry children.
Individuals who are interested in helping may also contribute by redeeming Annie Chun's 50-cent off coupons that are found inside the wrappers of its all-natural Soup and Noodle Bowls, at www.1bowl.org, or on the brand's Facebook page. Each time a coupon is redeemed, Annie Chun's will automatically donate 50 cents to WFP USA, which is enough to provide two children with a nutritious meal.
"Providing healthy meals and making a positive global impact are core values for Annie Chun's and we are honored to continue our partnership with World Food Program USA in support of its incredible efforts to help alleviate the devastating reality of hunger," said Diana Wang, director of marketing for Annie Chun's. "Annie Chun's is the number one soup brand in the all-natural channel, so we feel fortunate to be able to continue making significant impact to this cause by offering a convenient way for consumers to provide nutrition to hungry children, one bowl at a time."
"More than 925 million people worldwide, most of whom are women and children, do not have enough to eat—which is more than the populations of the U.S., Canada and the European Union combined," said Rick Leach, President and CEO of World Food Program USA. "Through our alliance with Annie Chun's over the past four years, we have been able to feed more than 125,000 hungry children and we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue working together to provide nutritious meals for children facing chronic hunger."
