Kellogg Company announced today that it has donated 30 million servings of food to Feeding America food banks across the U.S.

The donation includes cereal, snacks such as bars and crackers, and Eggo products.

Often, people facing hunger are forced to make tough choices between buying food, paying medical bills or rent, or buying holiday gifts for their children.

"While the holidays can be a joyful time for many, it can be especially difficult for people who struggle with food insecurity," said Steve Cahillane, Kellogg Company Chairman and CEO. "This donation is part of our Better Days Promise to advance sustainable and equitable access to food. We are committed to feeding 375 million people facing food insecurity and crisis by the end of 2030."

The company is also encouraging people to donate to Feeding America at feedingamerica.org. Just $1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.

Kellogg Company announced today – International Volunteer Day – that employees around the world volunteered more than 2,400 hours as part of the company's Volunteer Pledge to honor World Food Day.

For nearly a decade, Kellogg has been honoring World Food Day by giving back to communities around the world. This year, the company asked employees to volunteer at least two hours, either virtually or in person. Employees from every region participated.

"Giving back to others is a long-held belief at Kellogg Company. As part of our Better Days Promise environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, Kellogg takes action to create better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030 and, importantly, encourages others to do the same," said Stephanie Slingerland, Senior Director, Global Philanthropy and Social Impact. "We are proud that our employees are passionate about donating their time and efforts to help the people in the communities where we live and work thrive."

Since 2015, Kellogg employees have volunteered more than 106,000 hours to support people around the world. This year, after a nearly two-years dotted with virtual volunteer power hours, fundraisers, and individual activities, our employees were thrilled to be able to meet in person again and donate their time and effort as part of our World Food Day volunteer initiative.

In the U.S., employees volunteered in our hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan, but also across the country, sorting food at local food banks, packing backpacks with school supplies for children, cleaning up local parks, and much more.

As an added incentive, Kellogg pledged that for every hour that employees logged by the end of Nov. 30, the company would donate $10 to long-time partner, United Way to help create better days for neighbors who may be struggling with basic needs like putting food on the table for their families.

"At Kellogg, a promise is a commitment. And our Better Days Promise begins with our people," Slingerland said. "We're grateful that so many employees are passionate about helping create better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030."

What does a perfect snack do? It crunches!

The "crunch" factor was on top as an important component of the perfect snack in the latest Frito-Lay U.S. Trend Index. The index polled consumers on their snacking preferences and found that more than 70 percent of snackers would reach for a food with a crunch when considering their perfect snack.

Beyond crunch, the Snack Index found other important snack factors included sweet (66%), salty (61%) and filling (53%). Almost half of those surveyed expressed that, when thinking of a perfect snack, that snack is also nostalgic and reminds them of a specific moment in time (49%).

"Consumers are at the heart of all we do, so considering every component of a snack – including the crunch factor – is very important to us," said Denise Lefebvre, senior vice president of R&D for Frito-Lay and Quaker Foods North America. "We know the perfect snack is different for everyone, which is why we constantly listen to consumers and then engage our chefs and our Culinary Center to provide variety, deliver on flavor and explore new recipes consumers love."

While Frito-Lay predicts that all adults will continue to look for crunchy snacks in 2023, generational differences and end-of-year snacking behaviors also contribute to trends to watch.

‍A Generational Snacking Gap‍

Snacking habits vary by generation and snacking is not one size fits all. The latest Snack Index showed that nearly 50% of Gen Z believes snacking is most satisfying after dark. They are also twice as likely as other generations to order delivery when a snack craving hits. On the other hand, 50% of millennials satisfy their late-night snack cravings by visiting grocery or convenience stores. GenXers (64%) and baby boomers (62%) are most likely to prepare a comfort food recipe at home.
‍

The Joy of Holiday Snacking‍

Heading into the holiday, snacking is associated with good feelings. While 65% of adults crave snacks the most when they want to treat themselves, 61% are unlikely to crave snacks when they are feeling down during the holidays according to the Snack Index. Snacking is also a sensory experience, with 55% of those surveyed indicating they crave snacks most when they smell them and 52% crave snacks when they see them.

For 45% of respondents looking for a flavor that is available during a limited time and 49% looking forward to variety and party packs this holiday, specialty offerings will be a key factor. Americans are also looking to share their treats – 55% most look forward to sharing snacks with friends and family this season. According to the Snack Index, 62% of GenZers and 52% of millennials will be turning to social media for holiday recipes to try.

While Americans are more likely to try a recipe made with Lay's Potato Chips (46%), they also responded that they'll most likely try out a recipe with Rold Gold Pretzels (40%) than Cheetos Original (37%).

"As people of all ages experiment with recipes and enjoy snacks this holiday season, we're excited to bring them new limited time products such as Lay's Clusters, Cheetos Snowflakes, PopCorners Cinnamon Sugar and more, as well as fun new recipes made by our very own consumers that include your favorite snacks," said Lefebvre.

For more inspiration, a newly revamped website with never before seen Frito-Lay and Quaker recipes has just been released at MoreSmilesWithEveryBite.com. This new site propels engagement with Frito-Lay and Quaker consumers by empowering innovative ways to incorporate our products into their daily lives while also incentivizing them to submit their own recipes and snacking ideas.

The Hunter L. Mason Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the mission "to support and encourage personal and community development through sports, faith, and education, while bringing hope to those facing difficult times," today announced its launch.

‍
The foundation was established during the summer of 2022 after Hunter’s brief but courageous battle with glioblastoma. Hunter was diagnosed in early April 2022, and within a few short weeks succumbed to the aggressive brain tumor on May 31, 2022. During his short but impactful life, Hunter inspired those close to him and those who just knew of him to live, learn, and play with humility and commitment. The foundation strives to continue Hunter’s inspiring legacy by providing opportunities for others to "#LiveLikeHunter."

Hunter’s impact on others knew no limit, as he inspired children and adults alike and impressed everyone who worked with or around him. “In 22 years, Hunter made a profound impact on the lives of many, more than most do in a full lifetime," said his former Western Illinois University coach, Jared Elliott. "He poured everything he had into everything he did.”

The Hunter L. Mason Foundation has worked to quickly make a local impact by donating to the Hunter Mason Courage Award and Scholarship at Western Illinois, donating to student-athletes in his hometown school district through the Nevada R-5 Hunter L. Mason Scholarship Fund, and donating to the Nevada Tigers All-Sports Booster Club. Plus, members of the foundation spent a week in October performing random acts of kindness in honor of Hunter’s birthday.

The foundation's goal for 2023 is to continue to grow and increase awareness, as well as to continue fundraising through ongoing initiatives and yearly events. That includes the Mason’s Masters Charity Golf Tournament scheduled for June 3, 2023, in Nevada, Missouri.

‍
The igloos are decorated and furnished for up to eight adults and the gazebos are furnished like an outdoor living room, perfect for couples, families, and large groups.

Merry Resistmas

‍

Founded on the idea that tacos don’t have to be associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and can be made with the same care and quality ingredients as fine dining, Velvet Taco invites guests this holiday season to resist settling for typical holiday celebrations and instead to "Resist the Ordinary". With this campaign, the brand is recreating the electric, vibrant dine-in environment through brand experiences that incorporate the same iconic Velvet Taco tastes and smells, but this time it can all happen outside the four walls of Velvet Taco.

‍

Clay Dover, the company's CEO and chief taco-maker, said, “When the holidays roll around, most of us are accustomed to the same traditions, but this year we wanted it to be different. This holiday season, we’re celebrating the best way we know how: through tacos and providing experiences that are as memorable as they are delicious. That is no exception when our guests bring Velvet Taco to their home. Our team members are excited to share our coined ‘Resist the Ordinary’ spirit with our guests.”

This holiday season, let Velvet Taco cater your celebrations. With Velvet Taco’s boozy libations and scratch-made, out of the ordinary options, any and every fan will find something they’ll love.

And don’t forget about the red velvet cake—perfect for ending any event on a sweet note.

‍

Give the Gift of Tacos

‍

Guests of all ages can give the gift of Velvet Taco this holiday season through eGift or physical gift cards. Not only do the custom pink and green Velvet Taco gift cards stand out among the crowd with their vibrant colorway and design, they also make it convenient to gift tacos to loved ones near and far.

‍

12 Days of Taco Countdown

‍

It wouldn’t be a Velvet Taco Holiday without a giveaway. Velvet Taco’s 12 Days of Tacos will highlight different tacos and user generated content throughout the series with giveaways every other day, resulting in six chances to receive an exclusive giveaway.

To top off the holiday celebration, Velvet Taco presents their special edition, brand-new WTF, Fa-La-La Brisket Feast. This taco features slow-roasted angus brisket, cheesy hash brown casserole, roasted carrots, beef gravy, crispy fried onions, and fried sage on a flour tortilla ($5.95). The Fa-La-La Brisket Feast will be available December 21–27, 2022 at all Velvet Taco locations excluding food halls.

The Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation, an organization dedicated to creating changemakers by providing self-development and virtual mentorship experiences for women, by women, today announced the inaugural Spirit of Shirley Chisholm Awards ceremony to celebrate women mentoring women in the digital age. The foundation invites individuals from around the United States and abroad to join us this November to highlight individuals who have been carrying the torch of mentorship by emulating the spirit of Shirley Chisholm.

‍

The event will be hosted via Zoom on November 30, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. EST, and aims to create awareness about the tremendous contribution Shirley Chisholm played in building our future while celebrating women who are mentoring women in the digital age.

‍

The inaugural honorees for the Spirit of Shirley Chisholm Awards include Barbadian Humanitarian and Philanthropist Rivka Pastreich; author Alicia D. Williams; the youngest African American accepted to Medical School, and Founder of Brown STEM Girls, Alena McQuarter; Psychologist and Assistant Professor Dr. Raquel Martin; CEO and Founder of Resilia, and Nobel Prize recipient Sevetri Wilson.

‍

“We are excited about the unveiling of our online store, SHOP UNBOSSED (www.shopunbossed.com),” said Simone Walker, SCEF’s founder. “The Congresswoman was a style icon of her time and has been selling confidence since 1972. When a woman makes a purchase at SHOP UNBOSSED, she is buying wearable affirmations.”

‍

The Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation will welcome influential speakers and leaders to their virtual stage, including celebrity event host, and producer LaCora Stephens; Harvard Professor Dr. Donna Hicks; venture capitalist Dr. Robert Walker; Barbadian historian and Genealogist Dr. Frederick Alleyne; TEDx Speaker and CEO of Iconic Persona Cheryl Pullins; CEO of Performance Strategies Ltd Dr. Lee Innocenti; CEO of Scholarship Solutions Dr. Rhea Watson; and Vice President of Novo Nordisk Negelle Morris.

‍

“I am thrilled about our speaker lineup, in particular, the keynote address by Harvard professor, Dr. Donna Hicks who has worked with Desmond Tutu on international conflict issues,” said Simone Walker. “Dignity is not a word that we hear as often as we should. Dr. Hicks will be discussing the importance of developing a dignity culture in the digital space. Exploring this discussion is near and dear to my heart and is pertinent to this era, as research shows that long-term use of social media in women and girls is associated with low self-esteem, which in turn affects their life satisfaction.”

He was honored for his tremendous impact on raising such awareness. “The stereotypes of ADHD have been particularly daunting for children of color in public and private educational spaces, requiring the constant diligence of parents to prevent inappropriate treatment and mislabeling,” he said.

‍

The award recipient and his wife, Audrey, co-authored Falling Through the Ceiling: Our ADHD Family Memoir, chronicling the journey of their three sons with ADHD from childhood to adulthood. Their lived experiences and the lessons learned contribute toward increased awareness of the condition.

‍

Tide Cleaners customers and those interested in donating can bring their gently-used winter clothing to any of the six Denver and three Colorado Springs locations with designated drop-off bins. As a special thank-you promotion during the holidays, customers who donate will receive 20% off their cleaning.

As other loyalty re-launches like Dunkin’ vex customers, Kneaders boasts growth of enrollment, online sales, and points redemption.

‍

Kneaders, the Utah-based, award-winning, fast-casual bakery and cafe chain, announced today the results of its revamped loyalty program in partnership with Thanx, the leading loyalty and guest engagement platform. The re-launch of Kneaders' loyalty program allows the brand to leverage the entire suite of enhanced platform capabilities now available with the release of Thanx’s new loyalty 3.0 engine.

‍

Customer response to the new program has been overwhelmingly positive, with a 50% increase in average weekly enrollment, a six-figure month-over-month online sales growth, and over 3 million points already redeemed by customers.

‍

The new program gives guests the flexibility to redeem points for over thirty different rewards items directly within the brand’s digital rewards marketplace. Just for signing up for the relaunched program, members earn a free chocolate mousse dome pastry. The large variety of rewards available to members within the rewards marketplace levels up the loyalty experience, giving guests the option to choose more relevant perks or menu items based on their preferences. For example, program members can redeem points for pastries, salads, and sandwiches, while guests who reach the “Gold” and “Platinum” tiers earn $1 select drinks all day.

‍

Kneaders customers can reach three different program tiers—including gold and platinum—that offer access to exclusive menus with secret menu items and perks at the highest tiers. Kneaders plans to regularly update their rewards and top-tier offerings to drive excitement and keep guests regularly engaging with the program. Kneaders was careful to retain fan-favorite elements of their prior program, including a free pastry automatically awarded to loyalty members on their birthday.

‍

Changes in loyalty programs have been highly contested as of late, most notably with the viral customer backlash to Dunkin’ Donuts’ loyalty program for the brand’s sudden devaluation of points. Kneaders’ credits the successful relaunch of their program to the flexibility and ease-of-use of Thanx’s loyalty platform. With Thanx, the brand has been able to introduce a variety of both discount and non-discount rewards to protect profit margins while still delivering a highly engaging program to customers.

‍

With Thanx’s loyalty engine, brands like Kneaders can change rewards and adjust points values directly in the digital marketplace in response to market shifts. This ability to iterate avoids abrupt overhauls of their program, which can catch consumers off guard as was the case for Dunkin’ Donuts customers.

‍

“We have a strong loyalty base at Kneaders Bakery & Cafe, and this program re-launch was designed to delight them with a generous rewards base and custom rewards throughout the year," said Bailey Scoville, Kneaders’ VP of Strategy, on the success of the new program. "The Thanx team was a resource to us every step of the way, from analyzing customer feedback and consulting on program design to ensuring a seamless transition on launch day. We saw an almost immediate spike in membership and point redemptions following the re-launch. We are thrilled our loyal customers are enjoying the new program, which wouldn't be possible without our partnership with Thanx.”

Modern Barrel Co., the company behind the MOBA product that replicates the process of barrel aging in clear, unaged spirits, today announced a Black Friday sale with a $150 discount on the MOBA. The promotion ends on Tuesday, November 29 at 11:59 p.m. PST.

‍

MOBA takes unaged clear spirits and does the same thing barrel aging would, but in a fraction of the time. In as little as a few days, a clear spirit will be matured to an amber color with enhanced flavor and aromas. If one starts with an aged spirit, they'll get to experience a whole new take, often richer and more complex than the original. MOBA is the ultimate addition to any distilled spirits enthusiast’s bar.

‍
The product is available at https://modernbarrelco.com/products/moba, with the coupon code BLACKFRIDAYMOBA22.
