ConAgra Foods’ commercial foods businesses raise $110,000 for food bank
Omaha, Neb.-based ConAgra Mills and Spicetec Flavors & Seasonings (SFS) recently hosted their fourth annual Child Hunger Ends Here Golf Event, raising $110,000 to benefit Food Bank for the Heartland’s Mobile Pantry Program, a traveling food pantry that distributes food in rural areas of Nebraska and western Iowa. The money will help feed approximately 2,000 families in areas with a high need but limited resources.
Since launching in 2010, the event has raised more than $400,000, helping feed more than 1,800 children through the Backpack program, which provides food to children during the school year, especially during weekends and school vacations, and about 2,000 families through the Mobile Pantry program.
