ST. LOUIS RAMS LINEMAN DAMIONE LEWIS AND CHUNKY SOUP HELP THE FOODBANK TACKLE HUNGER

ST. LOUIS, MO -- September 17, 2001 -- How much do you think St. Louis Rams lineman Damione Lewis weighs - in cans of Campbell's Chunky Soup? On Sept. 7, Lewis and the Rams donated more than 4,300 cans of Campbell Soup to the St. Louis Area Foodbank based upon the weigh in.

As part of Campbell's Chunky/NFL Tackling Hunger 2001 program, linemen throughout the NFL are "weighed-in" on a giant soupspoon scale during NFL training camps. Campbell donates 10 times each participating player’s weight in Chunky Soup to a local food bank. Since 1997, Campbell and the NFL have been working together to tackle hunger, resulting in more than 20 million pounds of food being donated to food banks across the country.
