FISHERS, Ind., April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Canning and
sharing go hand-in-hand. Indeed, more than 71% of gardeners share
more than half the food they grow, often through canning. Now,
Ball® home canning products, part of Newell Brands' portfolio of brands, make it
easier than ever for all gardeners, canners, and Mason jar lovers
to donate and share food with the new Collection Elite®
Sharing Jar.
In partnership with Feeding America®, Newell Brands will donate four meals to families
in need for every package of Sharing Jars purchased. The Sharing
Jar also is perfect for home canning and features a modern design,
making it ideal for gifting.
"Sharing with others is a value at the core of the
Ball® brand. The new Sharing Jars reaffirm that tenet as
the design encourages users to can food at home and share with
friends and family. And, the purchase of Sharing Jars helps feed
people in need," said Matt
Christensen, Marketing Director of Fresh Preserving at
Newell Brands Inc. "This partnership with Feeding America allows us
to give back."
"Feeding America is thrilled to partner with Newell Brands in their efforts to help the more
than 42 million people in the United
States who face hunger, including 13 million children," said
Nancy Curby, SVP of Corporate
Partnerships & Operations, Feeding America. "We look forward to
a partnership that will help provide nutritious food to people in
need as we work together in the fight to end hunger."
The new Collection Elite® Sharing Jars are available
on FreshPreserving.com and in retailers nationwide this spring. For

America. One dollar helps
provide 11 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local
member food banks.
