Omaha, Neb., Oct 20, 2009 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- CAG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- In just 16 days, more than 10,000 Facebook fans from across the country helped ConAgra Foods Foundation (www.facebook.com/ConAgraFoodsFoundation) make a $100,000 donation to Feeding America to help end child hunger. ConAgra Foods Foundation established a fan page as a first step toward building a community of people passionate about ending hunger and committed $10 per fan for the total $100,000 donation. The fan page (www.facebook.com/ConAgraFoodsFoundation) will serve as a destination where individuals committed to the issue can join ConAgra Foods Foundation and others in a national effort to end child hunger.

"It's a credit to all of the new ConAgra Foods Foundation fans that we're able to build a community that can work together to end child hunger in this country," said Chris Kircher, president, ConAgra Foods Foundation. "We're grateful for the fans' support to help reach our goal of contributing $100,000 to Feeding America and look forward to achieving even more."

The ConAgra Foods Foundation established its Facebook fan page on Sept. 30 after it announced a $10 million commitment to Feeding America at the "Rock a Little, Feed a Lot" concert. The $10 million grant is the largest donation ever made to fight child hunger with Feeding America.

Both the grant and the additional donation of $100,000 will help Feeding America meet the needs of the more than 12 million children in America - 1 in 6 - who are at risk of hunger across the country. Since 1993, ConAgra Foods and its brands have contributed nearly $35 million dollars and more than 230 million pounds of food to support Feeding America programs.
