AVONDALE, PA - To-Jo Mushrooms has announced its continued support of the Produce for Kids campaign to help raise funds for local children’s organizations.
For the 13th annual campaign, To-Jo is partnering with Produce for Kids to support its relationship with ACME Markets and Feeding America. Feeding America is also Produce for Kids’s newest philanthropic partner. In addition to a direct contribution to Produce for Kids, To-Jo will be donating funds from the sale of its 8 oz. Whole and Sliced Mushrooms from April 24 to June 4 to support the cause.
“To-Jo’s culture is built around family values, by supporting Feeding America through this campaign, we can further our ongoing commitment to organizations that provide assistance directly to the communities where our products are sold. Produce for Kids does an amazing job of promoting healthy eating habits for children and we are proud to be partnering with ACME on this year’s campaign,” said Anthony D’Amico, President, To-Jo Mushrooms.
The campaign will be supported at local ACME Stores through in-store signage, online meal information, as well as at planned store demonstrations, special events, and displays featuring characters from the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie. According to a press release, recipes will include easy-to-prepare items featuring products such as To-Jo’s 8 oz. Sliced Mushrooms. In-store materials will direct shoppers to more than 150 produce centered recipes and healthy tips from real parents will be featured on the Produce for Kids website.
Over the past 12 years, Produce for Kids has raised over $5 million to support local and national charities through its retail campaigns, and the company’s new relationship with Feeding America is expected to focus its efforts even more on solving the ever growing child hunger issue.
To help gain awareness for the program, To-Jo will be co-hosting a #SimplySummer Twitter party with Produce for Kids, Well-Pict Berries, SUNSET Produce, and influential food bloggers on May 13 at 9:00 PM EST to promote the campaign and excite followers about healthy mushroom recipes and the summer grilling season.
