In honor of the season that's all about giving back, Libby's® is proud to support Feeding America® local food banks, a nationwide network, which is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization that secures and distributes 4.3 billion meals each year. Two of the organization's local food banks will receive a monetary donation made in the name of each winner of the "Cansgiving" sweepstakes and Libby's® Fruits & Vegetables products to help advance their mission in leading the fight to end hunger in America this holiday season.
"Our annual sweepstakes gives us the opportunity to help Libby's® customers get back to the dinner table to create memories, especially during the holidays with family and friends," said Bruce Wolcott, Vice President of Marketing for Seneca Foods. "We are grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward by matching each 'Cansgiving' sweepstakes prize with a donation to Feeding America® local food banks to help support the powerful work they are doing to feed our hungry neighbors through a nationwide network of food banks and to engage our country in the fight to end hunger."
For a holiday that is centered around family, Libby's® is also proud to be celebrating the season with TV host, actress, and mom of three, Vanessa Lachey, who brings her family and friends together around the dinner table.
"Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday!" said Vanessa Lachey. "When creating my family's favorite recipes the night before, I love cooking with Libby's® Fruits & Vegetables. Since most of the prep work is already done for me – there's no need for peeling, chopping, or dicing – I can just pop open a can I already have in my pantry and get cooking."
Libby's® will be sharing Thanksgiving-themed recipes and entertaining tips on its website (www.GetBacktoTheTable.com) and its social media platforms all season long, including a couple of Vanessa Lachey's favorite holiday dishes. Consumers can also tune into Vanessa's social channels to see what she will be making this holiday season with Libby's® Fruits & Vegetables.
