Libby’s Fruits and Vegetables Wants to Help by Giving Your Family the Chance to Win a Family Reunion!

It’s important for families to share meals year-round, but this September, in honor of ‘Get Back to the Table Month,’ we want to help reunite extended families as well. Because we know that distance, work obligations and budget often get in the way, we’re going to give one family the chance to come together for a family reunion. We will also be posting tips to help every family plan their own reunion with special Libby’s recipes and more.

 

Starting August 29, you can enter to win by submitting a family photo and short caption explaining the role food plays when you gather with your loved ones at the Family Reunion Contest tab on the Libby’s Table Facebook page. The winning family will receive travel and hotel accommodations to gather for a reunion dinner.

We are also partnering with Grandparents.com to raise awareness of the importance of family reunions. Grandparents.com is the leading authority on the relationship between grandparents and their families, as it helps the nation’s 70 million grandparents foster powerful bonds with the next generation and pass on essential family traditions. The website is also a great resource for reunion tips, recipes, and activities!

So for your chance to get back to the table with up to 10 members of your family, be sure to enter from August 29-September 23. Libby’s will select five finalists and ask America to vote for the grand-prize winner on the Family Reunion Contest tab at the Libby’s Table Facebook page from October 3-21. The winner will be announced during the week of October 31.

Good luck!
