"Grow your soup": Donate seeds with a click!

When you visit HelpGrowYourSoup.com and click on "GROW," Campbell Soup Co. will donate 50 seeds to Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters across the country.

Plus, each can of condensed soup has a code that you can enter on the site to receive a free packet of tomato seeds to grow at home. The campaign lasts through June 21 and you can click every day!
