Burbank, CA (Tuesday, November 10, 2009) – Celebrity spokesperson, Ajay Mehta, who appears in the General Mills Fiber One ad campaign, will present the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank with pallets of Fiber One cereal and chewy bars donated by the General Mills Foundation during Celebrity and Media Volunteer Day at the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank, Saturday, November 14. The special event, hosted by Jennifer Love Hewitt and the American Women in Radio and Television Southern California (AWRT SoCal) Chapter, will kick off the Foodbank’s “Season For Sharing” and help raise awareness of the organization’s growing need for food donations and volunteers.
“We are thrilled about this amazing donation from the General Mills Foundation being offered Saturday at the Season For Sharing event,” says Laura Behrman, President of AWRT SoCal and Event co-host.”Their generous gift of food will help make the holidays more plentiful for many families in need.”
As a result of state budget cuts and rising unemployment rates, hunger is becoming a more critical problem in Los Angeles County. At this time when our community is experiencing the difficulties of the economic downturn, charitable organizations like the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank are being faced with record increases in demand. The Los Angeles Regional Foodbank has increased volume by 41%, the equivalent of 5 million meals, year to date compared to last year; however, there still remains a gap between the overall demand for food assistance and the supply of food.
“The Foodbank is grateful for General Mills continued support of our hunger relief efforts,” said Michael Flood, President/CEO of the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. “This generous donation will be a great help in our efforts to feed the needy in our community during this holiday season.”
