Fight Hunger & Win a $50 Gift Card for Macy’s!

October 5, 2009 By

Winner: Cheryl comment #56 chosen by Random.org

Macy’s has launched COME TOGETHER, an innovative awareness and fundraising campaign that aims to feed 10 million people suffering from hunger.

COME TOGETHER invites the public to rally around the cause by hosting special dinners in their homes and asking their guests to pledge a donation to Feeding America. In return, Macy’s will match these donations dollar-for-dollar until the total goal of 10 million meals is reached.

To get involved the public may participate in three ways Host, Give and Shop.

  • HOST- Friends and families across the country can host dinner parties from casual to formal, send invitations and manage party details including themes and recipes on www.macys.com/cometogether. In lieu of bringing traditional host gifts, guests are suggested to make a donation to Feeding America.
  • GIVE – Donate $1 directly at any Macy’s register, one dollar provides dinner for seven.
  • SHOP -  Macy’s customers can shop for the cause and get special savings in-store on October 17, when Macy’s hosts a national Shop For A Cause day. A portion of the $5 in-store ticket sales will benefit Feeding America.

Visit Macy’s on Facebook and Twitter.

    I think it’s amazing! Getting people to shop is the best way to raise money and awareness imho. I can definitely show some support that way! (Like I need a reason to go shopping at Macy’s LOL!)

    I think it’s fab- and I love the commercials! I think it’s cute how many celebrities got involved, although I think J. Simpson’s hair looks terrible : /
