Kent Food Bank has been nominated as a favorite charity that addresses food insecurity to build awareness for the cause in the Whole Grains Council’s “Good Grains for a Good Cause” program.

To celebrate Whole Grains Month in September, the Whole Grains Council encourages the public to participate by nominating their favorite charity – a food pantry, soup kitchen or other organization.

For a full list of nominations, visit wholegrainscouncil.org.

At the end of September, one qualifying charity will be randomly selected to win a wealth of whole grain foods and national recognition. Nominations are accepted on the Whole Grains Council website through Sept. 30.

“Charities throughout the country are doing important work to feed Americans needing support, and during Whole Grains Month, we want to honor these efforts,” said Cynthia Harriman, director of food and nutrition strategies for the Whole Grains Council and Oldways, a nonprofit food and nutrition education organization. “Good Grains for a Good Cause helps consumers recognize good work in their communities, while bringing the importance of eating nutritious and delicious whole grains top of mind.”
