Bid on Plates Designed by Celebrities in Support of Feeding America(TM)

CHICAGO, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In support of Hunger Action Month
this September, STOUFFER'S(R) has generously offered to help raise awareness
for Feeding America(TM). Starting today, Feeding America invites consumers to
visit charity auction site ClothesOffOurBack.org to bid on one-of-a-kind
decorative dinner plates designed by celebrities such as Jewel, Blair
Underwood, Seth MacFarlane and Wayne Brady. A portion of the proceeds will
benefit Feeding America. 

To support Feeding America, celebrities generously gave their time to decorate
plates when they visited the STOUFFER'S(R) LET'S FIX DINNER(TM) Challenge
lounge at a recent awards show.

STOUFFER'S is a long standing supporter of Feeding America through programs
like its LET'S FIX DINNER Challenge. "We are so thankful for generous
companies like STOUFFER'S, which help us fulfill our mission," said Vicki
Escara, Feeding America CEO. "In helping to raise awareness for the dinner
plate auction, STOUFFER'S is showing how supportive they truly are. We all
know enjoying family dinners is important and Feeding America strives to
provide such opportunities to families in need at this difficult time."

STOUFFER'S certainly recognizes the importance of family dinners, and so the
LET'S FIX DINNER Challenge was created with the goal of encouraging families
to have dinner together more often. Research supports that kids who have
frequent family meals are more likely to feel that their parents are proud of
them, they tend to get better grades and they are less likely to smoke, drink
or use drugs. Please visit letsfixdinner.com to join the Challenge, and to
learn more about the importance of family dinners.

The celebrity dinner plates are up for auction at www.clothesoffourback.org
beginning today and running through September 29th.  Plates are decorative
