Round-Up from the Heart® campaign is a team effort among Pampered Chef’s Cooking Show guests, their sales field of more than 60,000 Pampered Chef® Consultants, customers and their Home Office coworkers. The Pampered Chef® has contributed more than $13 million to the battle against hunger since 1991. Cooking Show guests are encouraged to “round-up” their orders to the nearest dollar or more. Funds raised by the year-long campaign are donated to the 200 Feeding America, formerly America’s Second Harvest, affiliated food banks across the United States, based on the zip code of the Cooking Show host.
In addition, a special product is introduced each year as an additional way to raise funds to support this cause. Customers can purchase the Round-Up from the Heart®Trivet – a decorative, brushed copper trivet that can protect counters and tabletops from hot food, be used as a decorative wall accent, or given as a thoughtful gift. For every trivet sold, The Pampered Chef® will contribute $2 to Feeding America.
