A Time For Giving

Thanksgiving is a time of coming together with family and giving thanks for what we have. With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, sometimes we can forget  that there are so many people who are less fortunate than we are. We would like to encourage everyone to remember to give back this holiday season by donating to food banks. While any donation is always a gift, instead of giving items directly from your pantry, why not head to the store with our list of shelf stable items below and pick out what you feel would be most beneficial to someone in need. Canned foods are not only convenient, but also packed full of nutrition. When you sit down to your Thanksgiving meal this year, you will feel an extra sense of warmth knowing you've made someone's dinner table just as amazing as yours. 

HERE is a list of shelf stable items you can stock your own pantry with, as well as donate to those in need. 

Please visit Feeding America to find a local food bank near you. CFA member, Del Monte, has also teamed up with Kellogg's, Hormel and Amazon to make it even easier to give back through November 15th. You just simply select a food bank and purchase from a list of products. Feeding America will do the rest! Give back HERE.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Member Spotlight: The Tomato Wellness Council

We are excited to welcome the newest member of the Canned Food Alliance - The Tomato Wellness Council! The CFA joined The Tomato Wellness Council at this year's Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo. 

The Tomato Wellness Council (TWC) leads the industry effort on scientific research. The council has identified more than 400 scientific studies that demonstrate the health benefits of a diet rich in tomato products.  Alec Wasson, the leader of TWC, also known as "The Tomato Evangelist," is a big supporter of canned fruits and vegetables and even a bigger supporter of canned tomatoes. His "Legalize Marinara" promotions took FNCE by storm and we are proud to have been a part of an exciting booth at FNCE!
