As part of the nationwide NFL “Click for Cans” Promotion, Campbell's Chunky Soup donated 1,000 cans of soup to FBR and left it to our creative discretion how to distribute it. We wanted to do something fun & interesting with this gigantic donation and knew that getting kids involved was the clear choice.
The number of people in need is rising, given our economic situation. Approximately half of those served through FBR's hunger relief partner agencies are children. Many of these kids don’t know where their next meal will come from. A whole lot of Chunky Soup can definitely assist with this problem!
Here's what we did....the soup was delivered to the kids at The Denver Broncos Boys & Girls Club where they divided into 3 teams and spent the evening creating football related structures. Not an easy task we were told...lots of cans tumbling to the ground! The next day, Denver Broncos staff, including former Bronco, Billy Thompson, volunteered their time to judge the festivities and Bronco related prizes were awarded to the kids. The "Invescan" Field (clever) won top ratings, although all three were fabulous and very creatively crafted. FBR brought Gatorade & spicy Cheetos for the kids to chow on following the festivities. The soup will be used for the kids at the club!
Thanks to Campbell's Chunky Soup, the Denver Broncos & The Broncos Boys & Girls Club for partnering on a fun event!

For More Hunger Bytes...
There's a lot that goes into our world of fighting hunger and feeding hope. We couldn't have distributed near 36 million pounds of food last year without the thousands of people who donate time, funds, food and event organization on our behalf.
Throughout the year, there's a continuous schedule of events, promotions, food drives etc. that happen around our service area. The dedication and hard work that happens behind the scenes often goes overlooked. As do the faces of hunger - those who you come across every day who silently suffer and wonder where their next meal will come from.
Thus the origination of this FBR blog...we want to highlight stories of your neighbors who utilize the services of our nearly 1,000 hunger relief partner agencies. We also want to highlight the activies that you might not hear about otherwise and give you sneak peaks into the FBR world!
Thanks for visiting. Check back for updates!
