FOOD NETWORK'S CLAIRE ROBINSON OFFERS TIPS AND TRICKS FOR DELICIOUS THANKSGIVING DISHES AND HOW TO “SHARE A MEAL” WITH FAMILIES IN NEED 

Thanksgiving is a great time to entertain with friends and family – it’s also a time to think about giving back to those less fortunate.  As we enjoy delicious seasonal favorites from turkey casseroles to pumpkin pies, it’s difficult to fathom that there are 16 million children in America struggling with hunger – that’s the population of Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago combined.  This holiday season, Unilever Project Sunlight has a simple way you can help.

Claire Robinson, host of the Food Network’s “5 Ingredient Fix” will share some of her top tips and tricks to create savory fall favorites  and how to give back to the people who need it most – at the very same time. When you buy any Unilever product – including Thanksgiving holiday essentials like Hellmann’s and Country Crock – the company will give that same item to a family in need through Feeding America as part of the Unilever Project Sunlight “Share A Meal” program.

More about Claire Robinson:

Did you know just over half of the dogs and 60 percent of the cats in America are overweight or obese?*
