So far ConAgra Foods® has donated more than 1 million meals thanks to all of you who’ve entered their product codes online.

Together we can make sure as many meals are donated as possible!

No American should go hungry, and we thank ConAgra Foods® for joining us in that belief and for raising awareness and support for Feeding America.”

Hollywood Mom, Marcia Cross & Mott’s want to give you a Celebrity Wake-Up Call and a Mother’s Day Gift to Remember

Posted on 05. May, 2009 by Hollywood Mom.

A Winning Name HAS BEEN CHOSEN!  We’ll post her name and comments shortly!

The clock is ticking and the countdown’s begun – less than a week until the *Mother* of all holidays.  Do you know where your Mother’s day gift is?

Good news! It’s possible the HollywoodMomBlog.com has you covered this year.  HMB is giving away a luxurious Mothers Day Package courtesy of Mott’s brand and gorgeous Hollywood Mom Marcia Cross, in honor of the Mott’s Wake-up Call Campaign.  This Mother’s Day gift from Mott’s is packed with $200.00 worth of goodies all moms will truly appreciate, including:

• $100 Spa Day from Spa Finder for Mom (good for 1400+ nationwide locations)
• Mott’s gift certificate for $50
• $50 Gift Card to Vons Grocery Store, of the Safeway chain.

To enter, simply share your favorite Mott’s Moment in the comment section below – anything from your favorite Mott’s product, Mott’s-inspired family recipe or your feelings about Mott’s charitable Wake-up Call Campaign.  The lucky winner will be drawn and announced on Mother’s Day.

Leave it to Mott’s to create the perfect recipe for a luxurious Mother’s Day while delivering meals to children in need and raising awareness of the 36 million Americans who currently live at risk of hunger in our nation.  The Wake-up Call Campaign is designed to “wake up” Americans to the prevalence of hunger in our own country. Mott’s is joined in this effort by Emmy-nominated actress Marcia Cross, and the nation’s largest hunger relief organization, Feeding America and together, they will provide one million meals to needy American children and their families this year. Here’s the best part; We can help. Go to Motts.com and send a celebrity wake-up call (from Marcia Cross!) to yourself or a friend, for free.

For each wake-up call placed, Mott’s donates one dollar to Feeding America and that dollar will provide more than seven healthy meals distributed via Feeding America’s network of partner food banks across the United States.  “I’m humbled and proud to be working with Mott’s to literally wake up America to the fight against hunger and help people get a healthy start to the day,” said Cross. “As a mother, I am saddened by the number of families who go hungry in our country. I hope people will hear our message and help us make a difference by placing their own call today at Motts.com.

While Feeding America currently feeds nine million of these children, many also rely on free or reduced price lunches at school during the week. However, getting food to an at-risk child on the weekends and during the summer remains a challenge, especially as many food banks experience a sharp decline in donations post-holiday season.

The Mott’s Wake-Up Call program has a goal of helping to raise awareness for the issue of hunger, providing meals to children and families who need them and encouraging food bank donations during the important spring and summer months.
