Libby's' Helps Consumers Give Thanks with Sixth Annual 'Cansgiving' Sweepstakes

For the sixth consecutive year, Libby's Fruits & Vegetables is launching its annual "Cansgiving" sweepstakes encouraging fans to submit photos illustrating what they are most thankful for this holiday season. Whether customers are thankful for time spent with friends and family, long-standing holiday traditions or making new memories, the iconic fruits and vegetables company invites all fans to share their images of what inspires their gratitude this Thanksgiving season.

Fans can enter the Cansgiving sweepstakes by submitting their photo depicting what they are most thankful on www.GetBacktoTheTable.com/Cansgiving, or by sharing their picture on the Libby's Facebook page or their personal Twitter pages using the hashtags #Cansgiving and #sweepstakes. Libby's will award ten participants, chosen at random, with a $500 gift card for use toward their family's holiday feast, plus an assortment of Libby's fruits and vegetable products to help them prepare for the meal. The sweepstakes opens at noon EST on Nov. 1, 2018, and ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on Nov. 16, 2018. Official rules are available at www.GetBacktoTheTable.com/Cansgiving.

In honor of the season that's all about giving back, Libby's is proud to support Meals on Wheels America, a national organization dedicated to addressing senior isolation and hunger. The organization will receive a monetary donation of $5,000, $500 made in the name of each winner of the Cansgiving sweepstakes, as well as Libby's fruits and vegetable products, to help advance their mission of supporting homebound seniors this Thanksgiving holiday.

"Some of life's most special moments take place during the holidays and around the dinner table," said Bruce Wolcott, Vice President of Marketing for Seneca Foods. "Our annual sweepstakes gives us the opportunity to help Libby's customers create a memorable Thanksgiving with family and friends. We are also grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward by matching each Cansgiving sweepstakes prize with a donation to Meals on Wheels America to help support the incredible work they are doing to ensure that America's homebound seniors receive the nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks they need."

For more Thanksgiving inspiration, fans can tune into a Facebook Live session with Haylie Duff on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018 at 12:30 p.m. EST. Duff will discuss her holiday traditions and what she's thankful for this year. She'll also share one of her favorite Thanksgiving side dishes.
