AUBURN – Diane Jordan, independent sales director for the Pampered Chef Ltd., direct seller of kitchen tools, presented a check for $3,138.42 to JoAnn Pike, executive director of the Good Shepherd Food Bank.

The firm’s nationwide sales field of more than 70,000 independent kitchen consultants promote the company’s Round-Up from the Heart campaign during in-home cooking demonstrations, or kitchen shows, held between Sept. 1, 2002 and Feb. 28, 2003.

Customers contribute by rounding off their purchase totals to the nearest dollar or more. The funds are distributed to America’s Second Harvest food banks in the region where the donations originate, making a local impact.

A Peace on Earth collector’s cookie mold created for the Pampered Chef is also available for purchase to benefit the cause. For each cookie mold purchased, business donates $1 to the national office of America’s Second Harvest.
