Imagine® Soups Donates To Food Banks This Holiday Season

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Nov. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It is estimated that every year more than 1 in 6 Americans struggles to put food on the table.  A bowl of delicious Imagine® soup can help solve the problem.  Now through December 9th, when a consumer shares an Imagine® brand Facebook post with friends and family, Imagine® brand will donate two bowls of soup to someone in need through our local charity partners (up to 20,000 bowls with a retail value of approximately $30,000).  Every share means one less empty bowl and one more step in the fight against hunger.   The Imagine® brand Facebook page will show the number of bowls donated by our fans.
