Grain Foods Council helps the hungry

The Grain Foods Foundation and Food Network host Ted Allen have joined forces with Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization to provide up to one million pounds of food to those in need.

Feeding America is experiencing a 30 percent increase in demand on its food banks compared to last year.

To alleviate the growing pressure on these resources, the Grain Foods Foundation has launched the Bread Art Project at gowiththegrain.org, where consumers can create a personalized slice of bread art for free by uploading a photo or desigining a new one using a digital slice of bread as the canvas. For each piece of bread art created, the Grain Foods Foundation will donate one dollar to Feeding America. One dollar provides seven meals or four bags of groceries to the 25 million people served by food banks annually.
