Reba has been chosen as the face of the fourth annual Outnumber Hunger campaign, a partnership between General Mills, Feeding America and Big Machine Label Group to help bring awareness to the issue of hunger in America, and to help stock local food banks across the country. Reba is honored to use her social status to bring awareness to the cause because she says, “There are so many people in our country, the land of the plenty, who are goin’ hungry at night, and durin’ the day, and I think it’s a wonderful thing that Outnumber Hunger is helping load up the food banks all across the country so people will be able to have a meal before they go to bed at night, and wake up and have a meal before they go to work and go to school.”
Getting involved is as easy as purchasing specially marked General Mills products in your grocery store and entering the codes from the packages online. Reba reminds us, “People can help all over the country. Just go on www.OutnumberHunger.com and see how you can help.”
