ST. LOUIS, MO -- May 01, 2002 -- Since 1991, The Pampered Chef has partnered with hunger-relief organizations across to country to help those in need.  Through its "Round-Up from the Heart" campaign, The Pampered Chef encourages party attendees to 'round-up' their order to the nearest dollar.  The extra money then goes to the America's Second Harvest affiliate in the consumer's area.

The most recent campaign from November 2001 to February 2002 resulted in $8,831.23 for the St. Louis Area Foodbank!

"With support from companies like The Pampered Chef, we're able to bring much-needed food here to St. Louis for our community in need," stated Frank Finnegan, St. Louis Area Foodbank executive director.   "Much of our food must be trucked in from across the country and donations such as this make that possible," he concluded.
