2009-11-18 15:00 ET - News Release

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. -- (Business Wire)

Sara Lee Corp. today announced that in fiscal 2009 the company donated the equivalent of 1.8 million meals to Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity.

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to help so many people by providing nutritious meals, including high quality protein, to those in need,” said Judy Schaefer, director of community investment, Sara Lee Corporation. “With these significant product donations, Sara Lee has impacted the lives of thousands of families in communities across the country, one meal at a time.”

Sara Lee directs its food donations through Feeding America which is able to quickly integrate the large volume of perishable food to its national network of more than 200 food banks. The food banks then efficiently and safely redistribute the food to their 63,000 community-based pantries that service local communities. Together, Sara Lee and Feeding America are strong partners who work quickly and efficiently to provide nutritious food directly to low-income individuals and families around the country.
