To act on this purpose, Quaker, the official oatmeal sponsor of the NFL, is teaming up with a few fan favorites – Drew Brees, Jerome Bettis and Jerry Rice – to help tackle hunger and encourage others to join them. Quaker Oats are 100% whole grain and starting the morning with heart-healthy* Old Fashioned Oats is a good call people can make for themselves. Together, Quaker and these NFL greats aim to inspire people to pass that good onto others.\nAs the annual giving season approaches, Quaker is acting on its commitment to help make nourishment more accessible with a $125,000 donation to Feeding America®, which can help provide at least 1.25 million meals** for families in need.

Turn your empty canister into a bank to collect spare change around your home. Take your change to your local Coinstar kiosk and select Feeding America for your donation.Quaker is encouraging consumers to post to social using #QuakerGoodCall to encourage others to participate in the challenge and check out @Quaker, @drewbrees, @jerryrice or @jerome36bettis on Instagram for more information about the Quaker Good Call Challenge.\n \n\"We know that starting your morning with Quaker Oats is always a good call, and we're passionate about helping people in need get more access to nourishing foods,\" said Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer for Quaker North America at PepsiCo. \"We're thrilled to have Feeding America as an amazing partner to help tackle hunger, a mission that is deeply ingrained in our company, as well as NFL...
