This time of year such an emphasis is placed on giving back and spreading holiday cheer. There are many ways in which we can help others during the holidays. One easy way is to take part in the Virtual Canned Food Drive hosted by Libby’s Vegetables and Feeding America.

What Is The Libby’s Virtual Canned Food Drive?

The Libby’s Virtual Canned Food Drive is a fun and effective way to support Feeding America in the fight against hunger. Libby’s Vegetables will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000. To thank you for your support, Libby’s is also offering a money-saving coupon to everyone who donates!

It doesn’t take much to make a difference either. Every $1 donated to Feeding America provides 9 pounds of food for families in need! $5.00 provides 35 meals. A little bit can really go a long way.

  14. What a great idea. Everyone should try to give back year round, especially during the holiday season. I’ll be sure to send this page to friends.

  18. Feeding America is a fantastic charity. I’ve bought several of Bob Dylan’s Christmas In The Heart albums as gifts(one for me of course)as proceeds from all U.S. sales go to Feeding America.

  20. I do appreciate the fact that you’ve taken on the initiative to make people more aware of the need of food drives and food pantries at this time in our country. We’ve tried to do our part by donating to our local food bank, participating in our local supermarket where if you buy a “store brand” item, they donate another to the food bank, and we also have made a point (not in the food category) of participating in Toys For Tots. Thanks for doing your part.
    As for this prize, it would be greatly appreciated if I could win for my daughter who participates in a food co-op with other families where they all take turns cooking for each other’s families on rotating evenings. As they say….” It takes a village”, and in this case, we’ve all got to help each other out.

  31. This would be very useful for the holidays! Enter me to win!

    We love to donate to any charity. Clothes and food whatever we can spare.

  33. I can’t even imagine how good a roast would taste coming out of this compared to my $30 wonder-junk I have had for almost a decade now.

    Reply

  44. That Easy Sear insert looks awesome! I alsways have to brown my pot roast in a separate pot first, and this would eliminate that! Thanks for the chance to win it!

  45. I think Feeding America is a first class organization and I do support them…but their closest distribution site in my area is 2.5 hours away by car. Hungry people don’t have the gas money or time to drive a total of 5 hours to a food bank, so I contribute the bulk of my support to the small food banks that are operated by local churches here in my town and county. Knowing that Libby’s is supporting a good cause, I’ll be sure to look for Libby’s products when I shop for myself and for donations to the food banks.

  46. Such a great slow cooker, i really hope i win! I always give canned goods on food drives and donate to my local food bank. You never know when you’ll be the family needing help.

  47. I love how our community makes sure no one goes without during this holiday season. They make sure every one has food and at least a present under the tree. Thank you

  53. What a wonderful program. I love to hear when big companies do great things for the needy.This is wonderful and I try to help at any food drives around here.

    Reply

  54. I recently worked at our church’s annual food drive, and I must say that the generosity of my neighbors really is a delightful surprise. There were lots of cans and boxes of food donated, enough to keep more than 100 volunteers crazy-busy for about 3 hours. It seemed there were more donations than last year.

    Reply

  58. Hunger is a serious threat as this economy continues to struggle. Food drives need to be more common place as more and more families will need supplemental sources to meet their needs. Thank you for recognizing such a need. We can all do our part to help those around us!

  63. A crockpot that is also a roaster. Or is it a roaster that’s also a crockpot? Either way it looks wonderful. Thanks so much!

    Reply

  67. I am so glad to see big companies helping. I donate at the food pantry behind my sons preschool. His preschool ask for kid friendly foods. We also donate toys for christmas. Awesome thanks

    Reply

  69. I have been donating to the canned food drive my daughter’s school is running. It is great to get kids involved in giving.

    Reply

  95. I love this idea- we buy extra groceries each week for our local food pantry and also swipe the card at the market. I’m going to tweet etc now. 🙂

    Reply

  99. The ability to sear your meat on the stove and then start the slowing cooking is wonderful….I need a new crock-pot.

    Reply

  114. I love that Libby’s is doing this for the holidays.
    And your donation will feed so many for so little.
    Thank you so much for the chance to win.

  123. This would come in handy for the holiday cooking. We do participate in the local food drive & it’s great when big companies get involved.

    Reply

  128. Way to go Libby’s! I know that our food banks around here really depend on the holidays to try to make it thru the rest of the year. They are especially hard hit this year due to the economy and loss of jobs. Thanks for promoting a great idea!

  129. What a great cause and a great giveaway!

    A few of the grocery stores I frequent always have a container or box where you can donate food, some even have a container to donate food to animal shelters. I try and do what I can year round when I see a great deal or have a great coupon and buy an extra can or two of soup, veggies, box of pasta or cereal to drop in the boxes.

    Reply

  132. I watch sales and use coupons to buy extra non-perishable food and toiletries. My neighbor is very involved in her church out-reach program so I give the items to her. I’ve also gone with her to help sort and handout items.

    Reply

  133. Everytime I go get a grocery order I pick up one extra item and donate it to my church each week.

  134. Oh, this is a good giveaway. I’m a firm believer in big-pot-cooking, one pot of food that stretches for the entire week. ow, combine that with one pot and I have one-big-pot cooking. Its a slam dunk. Easy to make and a time saver. Yeah.

  144. We just finished a food drive at my college. I help set up and box up the cans. I’m a member of our volunteer club.

  154. We have a food drive at work and the best thing about it is the company matches with money the amount of food we bring in. I am blessed to work for a generous company.

    Reply

  160. What a great idea! I immediately thought of all the big-batch cooking I could do with this, like making lots of my turkey and vegetable spaghetti sauce for the freezer. Thank you for the generous offer!

  166. I always give to food drives in my community, and this is a wonderful giveaway (slow-cooker), better than any I’ve seen!

  260. Hungry families need food year round, but the holidays put extra stress on already financially strapped families. A food drive during the holidays is just one way to help the needy and for the more fortunate among us to share the abundance. There are already several food drive initiatives in my community and I participate whenever I can.

    Reply

  261. I’ve wanted a slow cooker for awhile now, but never broke down and bought one. We donate to local food pantries all the time. One of our local grocery stores even runs specials on canned food a certain times of the year to make it easier to buy and donate.

    Reply

  271. I would love to give this to a friend who is getting married in the Spring, and has expressed multiple times how she’d love a crockpot (but it’s not on her registry — I think it would make such a great Christmas gift).

    Food security is an issue that’s close to my heart. I belong to a local group that deals with food security issues, and also support the Angel Food Ministries organization. Thank you for raising awareness about scarcity and how to help people in need, especially at the holidays!

  278. The first slow cooker I ever had (30 years ago) had the ability to sear…and I”ve missed that since it decided to die on me. Oh, pick me!!!

    Reply

  279. Libby Food is number one in my book. Thanks for cluing us in on their giveaway.

    I use my old slow cooker a lot, but would love one where I can sear the meat in the same pot.

    Happy Holidays.

    Reply

  280. Wow, this lets you brown the meat first. That stops me every time if a recipie calls for that, I don’t do it in a crock pot. I really like being able to take it to the stove. Super.

  291. I have a canned food drive up and running at both the school where I teach, my husband’s place of employment, and our church – yay!!

  293. What an amazing giveaway!! I would LOVE to win this to help with holiday cooking for my family – I usually have to have everyone bring their crock pots so we have enough with just one! Love it!! 🙂

  295. My co-worker is doing a canned food drive with her church, and so far I’ve filled a box and donated a free turkey to their Thanksgiving drive, and filled a box for their Christmas drive too.

    I have also personally adopted a family through my church for Christmas and we will be having them over for a home cooked meal and gifts on Christmas day.

  297. Even in todays tight times, most of us can afford to help someone else out a little bit, and canned food drives are a great way to meet the most basic needs of people who are struggling financially.

  321. I’m coordinating the food donation drive at my daughter’s school. The 5th grade class takes a field trip to the distribution center at the end of the donation drive. It’s pretty cool!

  354. there is never a bad time to have a food drive! Sometimes Ii think food banks ‘survive’ only because of these holiday drives… but people are hungry year-round too 😉
