OVERVIEW

Description

Inspired by the growing issue of world hunger, Campbell Canada employees took action and created Nourish, a first-of-its kind, complete meal in a can.- Designed for Food Banks Canada and international disaster relief.- Delicious and satisfying, low cost, nutrient-dense food.- Provides a full serving of three food groups, vegetables, whole grains, and 18 g of protein.- First use of 'Naked Oat' grain innovation, developed and grown exclusively in Canada.- Designed for disaster relief; with a pop-top lid and 24-month shelf life, it does not require additional water and can be eaten at room temperature.- Launched with initial donation of 100,000 cans to Food Banks Canada, made possible by negotiating with partner suppliers to donate ingredients and materials. - Sparked a social media campaign asking Canadians to join Campbell Canada in alleviating hunger by donating more Nourish - 100% of net profits fund more donations.
