In about 20 minutes, chari- table groups can use Schwan’s Cares™ to create a fundraising Web page and run their own campaignsentirely online. Supporters can then visit the page to shop online, selecting from more than 350 of Schwan’s delicious, home-style frozen foods including USDAchoice meats and GradeA vegetables, flash frozen at the peak of freshness.
