To raise awareness about the national issue of hunger, Hamburger Helper® is partnering with GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter and actor Tim McGraw to help Feeding America deliver millions of meals to local food banks through the Show Your Helping Hand™ campaign.
Support the campaign by submitting codes from specially marked boxes of Hamburger Helper at www.showyourhelpinghand.com or by logging on to make a donation. Don’t think one code will make a difference? The 17 cents Hamburger Helper donates per code is enough for Feeding America to deliver one meal to a local food bank.
I was sent a box of Hamburger Helper skillet meals, a Hamburger Helper foam “Helping Hand” and a copy of Tim McGraw’s “Southern Voice” CD. In addition, Hamburger Helper made a $10 donation to the Show Your Helping Hand™ campaign. . The prize packs and information were all given to me from Hamburger Helper through MyBlogSpark.
You can win the same package as above! This is a quick 2 day contest. It will end on 1/12/11 at 5 pm (I will need the winners address / phone number ASAP by 1/13/11 noon to get it sent in. Easy to enter…#1 is mandatory.
1- Post what you have done to help out the food shelves..ie donate, volunteer, etc. (comment link is at the top of this post if it isn’t below here.
What an awesome giveaway Karen. Thanks for the opportunity. I make sure anything I can buy with coupons for free that we don’t use is donated to the local food shelf. Have a great day!
I have been donating to my local food shelf.
Every month, my grand-daughter and I pack up a bag of groceries and drop them off at a local food shelf, just this past Christmas our small town had a festival and if you donate a food item, you could have your picture taken for free, we immediately got a bag and went through cupboards and donated the food. Unfortunately we lost the picture (at the festival). When the U,S. Post Office does their food drive, we will go through our cupboards and set out a bag.
I remind my grand-children, that there are children out there who don’t have food to eat and that we should help out our neighbors.
Not only do we donate food to the food shelves, but we have now started donating to other organizations who need clothing, etc.
We have a local food shelf here in Elk River called CAER. I love donating money and food to this organization because it helps the people out in my community. They also do a toy drive each Christmas and my kids love to buy toys to donate to CAER for kids like them who will be blessed by those toys.
My daughter and I went through our cupboard and took all canned food to our church for a food drive.
I volunteer at our food shelf every Wed morning
When I have an excess of “free” coupons I buy the items, and then about once every 2 months I load up the items and bring them into our local food shelf. It costs me nothing but my time, and I hope that it helps!
I actually take my Girl Scouts (all in 3rd grade) and we canvas our neighborhood for donations. Early in the week we go door to do and leave Cub food bags on each one, with a note stating what our local food shelf is in the most dire need for. Then at the end of the week, we drive around and pick up the bags that are left at the end of the driveway. We average about 200 lbs of food donated each time we do this.

We keep a box in the dining room where we put extras that we get for cheap or free. Once the box is full (usually once a month), it gets donated to our seminary food bank in town.
We had a food drive at school. We teachers matched what the students brought in. It was a lot of fun and helped our local food pantry.
I donate any extra foods to our food shelf. There is a box in our grocery store for food shelf donations that I will drop any “freebies” I don’t into on the way out the door!
When I have extra I always try to donate whenever I can, either through church or any food drives local businesses are having.
I donate to my local food shelf. I also have volunteered there in the past.
Every couple of months we clean out our extra stuff in our stock pile and bring it to the local shelter and or food bank!
I have been couponing for about 1 year, and I can’t believe how much cereal I have been able to donate. It feels great to know there are kids out there starting their day with a good breakfast.
We donate through our church and school. Also, I love it when the neighborhood kids come to collect for the food shelters too. It’s so much fun to pile them up from our stockpile! Thanks for everything you do!
I donate any unused money from my food budget, either in the form of cash or food, to a food shelf in my neighborhood.
This is a great giveaway, thank you for helping raise awareness.
I donate food that my family does not like, or I have an abundance of to the food shelf. We just dontated 5 bags of soup & sugar cereal that I had gotten free. We also did a food shelf benefit through my wifes work by putting together an entire holiday meal for a family.
