But for the 49 million Americans identified as "food insecure" by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), summer doesn''t mean a vacation; it can mean continued stress in trying to keep their family well fed. That''s why is calling on fans and friends to support their local food banks through its fifth annual
Throughout the summer, food bloggers will compete in five unique "Market Basket" challenges and create original pasta salad, side dish or summer entrée recipes from five must-have ingredients in the Market Baskets. Fans and friends decide who wins by voting for their favorite dish at . The blogger/recipe with the most votes in each challenge will receive a $1,000 donation to their local food bank; a $200 donation will go to the food bank of choice of the remaining bloggers. Additionally, five randomly-drawn fans/participants who voted will win a family pack of Dreamfields + a $1,000 donation made in their name to a local food bank/pantry. All totaled, Dreamfields will be donating $14,000 in the fight against hunger.
"Dreamfields wants everyone to have the chance to enjoy great food and good health. That''s why we are donating to local food banks as part of our annual Pastapalooza campaign," said Liz Housman, Dreamfields Director of Marketing.
