Pillsbury Comes to Aid of Hungry Children

The Pillsbury Co's Anthony TX plant will devote its production lines to feed children in the United States as part of an ongoing commitment to a domestic hunger relief organization.

This plant's Production Alliance will produce 11,750 cases of Old El Paso Refried Beans for America's Second Harvest, a national network of more than 200 regional food banks and food-rescue organizations that provides emergency food assistance to 26 million hungry Americans. The beans will be routed to food banks and food-rescue programs, which will distribute the product to meal service programs such as Kids Cafes, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and other organizations that focus on childhood nutrition.
