A Giveaway That Gives Back!

I can’t believe it is already December. I sound and feel so old when I say that but seriously where did the year go? But I am so excited about this time of year! I spent last night putting up my Christmas tree, watching digitally re-mastered Christmas cartoons, and baking my first batch of cookies this season! It was so much fun!

But one of the biggest things I love about this time of year is that it is a season of giving. And I am always reminded of how blessed I am and how much more I can do for others and give back. To celebrate this season of giving I have a giveaway for you today that supports giving to others!

According to Feeding America, approximately 5.7 million different people receive emergency food assistance from the organization in any given week.
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. McGraw will lend his voice to the campaign through a Public Service Announcement which will be distributed nationwide.
Support the campaign by submitting codes from specially marked boxes of Hamburger Helper at http://www.showyourhelpinghand.com/ or by logging on to make a donation. Hamburger Helper has already donated more than half a million dollars and will contribute up to an additional $100,000 to Feeding America through this program. 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.
Today’s giveaway is for 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 will make a $10 donation to the Show Your Helping Hand campaign on your behalf.
