Sarah Bellos
Community Service Heroes
Deadline: February 28, 2009
General Mills, Inc.
( http://generalmills.com/corporate/commitment/community.aspx ) and
the National Council of Negro Women ( http://www.ncnw.org/ ) have
partnered to introduce Feeding Dreams, a community-based program
designed to celebrate men and women who contribute to their
communities and uplift individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
Through the Feeding Dreams Local Hero Monthly Awards Program,
General Mills seeks to inspire others to follow the lead of the
unsung heroes dedicated to serving their families and communi- ties
in a variety of areas, including education and health. The program
seeks nominations of local heroes in Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte,
North Carolina; and Memphis, Tennessee.
The program will honor one Local Hero per month in each city between
September 2008 and March 2009, and will culminate with local
community service events in March 2009. Local Heroes will receive a
$500 Visa Check Card, $1,000 to donate to their
501(c)(3) charity of choice, a supply of General Mills products, and
recognition during the March events. Feeding Dreams will also honor
thirty additional nominees with $100 gift cards and gift baskets.
Nominations for Feeding Dreams can be submitted by community
members, or individuals can nominate themselves. To submit
nominations in one of the participating cities, or for more
information, visit the program's Web site.
