Last year, Florida Georgia Line was the lead face of the Outnumber Hunger campaign, an honor they have handed off to Reba this year, but they’re still heavily involved in the campaign to help raise awareness about hunger in America. The campaign, which is a partnership between General Mills, Feeding America and Big Machine Label Group, encourages fans to enter codes off of specially marked General Mills products, to help direct food donations to their local food banks. Brian Kelley points out, “You’re kinda doin’ already somethin’ you already do. You know, go to the grocery store and get cereal, or some snack stuff. They have the codes on the back, you just go pick up somethin’ you’re already go get and enter a code and it provides a lot a meals. So, we’re just encouragin’ everybody to do what you can, and everybody to do somethin’. So, whatever it may be, you’re helpin’ people out and that’s what it’s all about.”
