Clip Campbell’s Labels for Education® and Help the VFW National Home Earn a Minivan!
The VFW National Home for Children has 14 weeks to collect the last 184,485 Campbell’s Labels for Education® UPC’s needed to earn their seventh (yes, seventh!) minivan. In order to earn a minivan, they must turn in 1.6 million UPC points by July 31, 2016. At the time this blog was posted, they had turned in just over 1.4 UPC million points.
Why do they only have 14 weeks to collect the points? Because on August 1, 2016 the Campbell’s Labels for Education program as we know it will end.
As of August 1, 2016 only the items with a LFE logo will be accepted as points into a registered school’s account. Schools may continue to submit UPCs and Beverage/Sauce Caps of any participating product through July 31, 2016. During the 2016-2017 school year and beyond, Campbell’s will continue to honor labels only from schools currently registered with the program. They will remove the Labels for Education logo mid-2016 (below) and expect there will be a limited number of products that contain these labels in stores through 2017.
For the past 42 years, the Campbell’s Labels for Education has contributed more than $110 million in school supplies to tens of thousands of schools across the U.S.By saving and redeeming product UPCs and Beverage/Sauce Caps from participating products, schools could earn FREE educational merchandise such as computers, software, sports equipment, musical instruments, library books and even a minivan! Since 2004, the National Home has collected nearly 8 million (yes, 8 MILLION!!!) UPC points and earned six minivans through this generous program.
Your help is needed in order for them to earn a seventh minivan! The families at the National Home know they can count on our VFW and VFW Auxiliary members to help them reach their goal! Keep clipping and sending your Labels for Education to:
VFW National Home for Children
3573 S. Waverly Road
Eaton Rapids, MI 48827
They will be grateful to receive any and all support!!
