Produce for Kids is launching its annual Get Healthy, Give Hope campaign with major supermarket chains across the country, including your local GIANT / Martin’s store, to help raise money for Our Family Foundation.
Beginning June 9th and running through August 10th, the
more produce GIANT / Martin’s shoppers add to their shopping lists the
more hope they can give to local children. All participating fresh fruit
and vegetable suppliers at GIANT / Martin’s stores will make a
consumption-based donation to Our Family Foundation which awarded
donations totaling $11.6 million in 2012 to organizations in your local
community with a mission of fighting hunger, improving the lives of
children and building healthy communities.
To
learn more about the campaign, shoppers can visit the Produce for Kids
in-store display which features easy-to-prepare recipes, helpful materials with additional information on the campaign and links to visit more than 90 easy Ideal Meals® recipes online. The display also features characters from the popular Sprout® health-focused children’s series “LazyTown™” and “The Chica Show,” along with tips on healthy eating for kids.
