HoneyBaked Ham raising money for food banks

While many Americans are trying to plan that perfect holiday meal, many others are worried about where they will find a simple bite to eat. 

This holiday season marks the second year that HoneyBaked Ham has joined with Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger relief organization with food banks across the country, to support local community food banks. From Nov. 26 until Dec. 16, participating stores will accept register donations, 100 percent of which support local food banks. In addition, HoneyBaked will match all donations, up to $15,000, to support the Feeding America Network and HoneyBaked’s goal of providing 250,000 meals to families struggling with hunger.  The local HoneyBaked store in Newington will be part of this effort and happily accepting donations for Foodshare.

“The holidays are a particularly difficult time for so many reasons, and that’s why HoneyBaked is partnering with Feeding America again this year,” said Maggie DeCan, COO of the Original HoneyBaked Ham Company of Georgia. “We want to help give the gift of meals, provide relief, and make the season a little brighter for our neighbors dealing with hunger. We hope our customers will join us in this effort.”
