Round-Up for Hunger, The Pampered Chef, Ltd.

This Fall marks the 11th annual Round-Up from the Heart� campaign, an initiative created by The Pampered Chef, Ltd.�, the nation's premier direct-seller of high-quality kitchen tools, that exclusively benefits America's Second Harvest and its Foodbank network. The Pampered Chef 's sales force of 62,000 Pampered Chef Kitchen Consultants present in-home cooking demonstrations and encourage their customers to round up their kitchen tool orders to the nearest dollar or more from. These funds are sent directly to the Foodbank in the customer's community.

In addition, customers can purchase this year's stoneware Cookie Mold and $1 of the purchase price is donated directly to America's Second Harvest. Each year a special collector's edition stoneware cookie mold is dedicated to the promotion to benefit America's Second Harvest and your local Foodbank.

The 2000 campaign raised more than $1.2 million dollars for America's Second Harvest and its network of nearly 200 Foodbanks. Since 1991, the campaign has raised more than $5.2 million dollars for the organization.
