Campbell's Offers No Concessions to AFA
Stands Firm on Ads in LGBT Mag Despite Criticism From Conservative Group

1. Campbell's is a good citizen in our town
Good benefits, Christmas bonuses to it's employees...I am glad to see that they are taking a stand against the AFA and actually standing up for the families that it employs.

3. If I may suggest...
Food pantries all over the country are hurting for donations. Why not score a twofer by picking up some Campbells soups while you are out shopping, and donate them to your local pantry?

4. Just an aside here
The Campbells plant here donates TONS of soup to our local food bank.
Good idea though! :thumbsup:
