Lose Weight while helping those in need:
Join in the Pound For Pound Challenge

Every year, millions of Americans resolve to lose weight. If you’ve made your resolution to drop some holiday pounds, then join us in the Pound For Pound challenge. This year, you can help the millions of Americans who struggle with hunger while doing something good for yourself.

General Mills, The Biggest Loser and Feeding America have joined forces to support the Pound For Pound Challenge, which will help Americans lose weight while providing hunger relief. Each year, Feeding America food banks provide food assistance to more than 25 million men, women and children. Across the nation, these food banks are facing unprecedented demand for food, and help is needed to keep this crisis from worsening.

Through the challenge, individuals can either sign up at www.pfpchallenge.com to pledge their weight loss goals, or clip and mail Pound For Pound seals from specially marked General Mills products. For every pound lost and every seal received, General Mills will donate 10 cents to Feeding America. Between the donations for weight loss pledges and product seals, General Mills will contribute up to $775,000 to Feeding America to help secure millions of pounds of groceries.
Feeding America will distribute the funds to local food banks based on the ZIP codes of consumers who participate in the program, so the areas of the United States that participate most actively in the Pound For Pound Challenge stand to benefit most from the donations.

Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana was incorporated July 25, 1983 to act as a liaison between the food industry and organizations that feed the ill, needy and children in adequate amounts to allow for a nutritious and balanced diet. Since that time, Second Harvest has grown to distribute nearly 4 million pounds of groceries donated by the food industry to 130 charitable programs in eight counties. Programs include pantries, meals, day care, shelter and other services for the region's 49,000 people living in poverty and the additional 72,000 low-income households struggling to make ends meet.

Second Harvest operates the Kids Cafe program throughout east central Indiana, sponsors the Summer Food Service Program for Children, contracts with the State to distribute commodities through The Emergency Food Assistance Program and conducts tailgate distributions. Second Harvest provides leadership in addressing hunger issues and advocacy.
