Feeding Dreams™
Celebrating the Power of People J ust about every community has a local hero. Maybe it’s the neighbor who pours his heart and soul into youth mentoring. Or the volunteer nurse who organizes community health fairs. Their dedication reflects the richness and strength of the African-American community. They are the community champions. At General Mills, we’re proud to honor and celebrate the power and potential of everyday people for a second year with Feeding Dreams. And we invite you to join us by helping us choose your community’s champions. First, well-deserving individuals from four cities — Birmingham, Ala.; Charlotte, N.C.; Memphis, Tenn.; and Norfolk, Va. — will be nominated. Then it’s your turn to cast your vote online for your favorite nominee. This November, three community champions will each be awarded a $500 VisaCheck Card and General Mills will donate up to $5,000 for their favorite charities.
