Famoso & Mealshare Fight Youth Hunger 2018

The holidays are about giving—and what is sometimes forgotten during the holidays, is giving back to one’s community.  During a time of often gluttonous eating, we forget there is a poor allocation of food in the world.   

Famoso Campania Tomato Sauce

This is why Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria’s famous hand-milled Campania Tomato Sauce is back for the holiday season.  For the sixth year in a row, Famoso is selling its authentic Campania Tomato Sauce at all 30 restaurants located in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, in partnership with Mealshare.

Until December 31, 2018, one meal will be provided to a Canadian youth in need for every jar of Campania sauce purchased, right in the community in which the sauce was sold.

Made from only the finest vine-ripened plum tomatoes, picked from the rich soils of Mount Vesuvius in Naples, Famoso’s Campania Tomato Sauce is hand-milled and jarred to capture authentic Neapolitan flavour.  Available only once a year during the holiday season, Campania Tomato Sauce retails for $8 per 500mL jar.

Mealshare’s mission is to enable and inspire people to join the fight to end youth hunger. Funds raised from last year’s Campania Tomato Sauce sales provided 29,607 meals to in-need youth across Western Canada and Ontario.

Since Campania Tomato Sauce sales began in 2013, 28,176 jars of sauce have been purchased to support the 18 local communities in which Famoso operates.  Famoso expects another 5,800 jars to be sold this year.

This year, I used Campania Tomato Sauce to make a hearty chickpea and tomato soup.
