Please keep voting... it's not just for the sake of winning...you know, there are ton of folks out there these days (nationwide, Packers fans or not) that cannot survive without soup kitchens or even just help. It's important to remember that at the other end of this contest are faces of people that can really use our help. ...and props to Campbell's Soup for putting on such a generous deal.

fans and two local businesses, 29 Wisconsin food pantries have stocked their shelves with canned soup for needy families.

“This is going to be a blessing,” said Cordelia Taylor, founder and CEO of Family House, which assists homeless, poor and elderly people in Milwaukee. Her ministry loaded a van with about 1,000 cans of soup for distribution.
Packers players Korey Hall, Brad Jones and Brandon Underwood helped volunteers load 28,000 cans of soup into vehicles on Tuesday at the Associated Bank gate outside Lambeau Field.
About 60 pantry representatives were on hand to take delivery of the food. Each pantry received 77 cases of soup.
During the 2009 football season, Packers fans voted the team tops in the Campbell’s Chunky Soup “Click for Cans” online food drive for the eighth straight year. The top spot earned 18,000 cans of Campbell’s soup.
Associated Bank, a partner in Click for Cans for the second year, donated an extra 10,000 cans. Festival Foods, another Packers partner, supplied the extra soup to Associated Bank for the distribution.

in Eau Claire, said the donated soup would be “a huge bump for us.”
The church's pantry has grown from serving about 40 people a month two years ago to 350 people a month now.
“A lot of new people are coming. Some just need a little help,” she said.
