Tackle Hunger And Promote Safety With Labels For Education (NAPSA)—A new program gives schools the chance to help their communities while earning free educational merchandise through the nation’s longest-running label redemption program. Labels for America, an extension of Campbell’s popular Labels for Education program, makes label collecting even more rewardingfor schools by encouraging volunteerism through learning, caring and sharing. As a bonusfor completing com- munity volunteer projects, regis- tered schools are eligible for 500 Labels for Education bonus labels for each program completed, up to 2,000 labels per school. School representatives simply fill out an official form highlighting the school’s accomplishment. The bonus labels can be combined with labels from Campbell products to redeem free educational merchandise from the Labels for Education catalog, including computers andsoftware, musical equipment, sports equipment and classroom accessories. To promote community volunteerism, Campbell has teamed up with several national organizations, including the Chunky Soup/ NFL Tackling Hunger Campaign and Safe America.
