WEST CHESTER, Pa. September 21, 2023 – QVC® and the Housewares Charity Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the home and housewares industry, have again joined forces to present Living for Giving, a cross-platform shopping event to support Feeding America®. The third annual Living for Giving event, which is now live on QVC.com, provides customers a meaningful opportunity to give back. While shopping eligible national name brand houseware products at discounted prices¹, 70%² of the purchase price will go towards supporting the Feeding America network of food banks. All merchandise featured has been donated.

“As the holiday season approaches, organizations that feed the hungry need help more than ever. That’s why we’re proud to rally with our customers once again to shop their favorite national brand products all while supporting a great cause which empowers communities,” said Suzanne Quigley, Director of Corporate Responsibility and Community Affairs, Qurate Retail Group^SM. “Through the generosity of our vendor community and the reach of our platforms, we’re able to raise awareness and funds for Feeding America and support their mission to deliver hunger-relief across the U.S.”

Customers can also tune-in on Wednesday, September 27 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET to watch QVC Program Hosts David Venable and Jane Tracey host a two-hour Living for Giving live broadcast, featuring notable brands such as Mrs. Prindable’s, Rastelli’s, Cuisinart, Ninja, Nutribullet, Scrub Daddy, Just Bagels and more.

“The Housewares Charity Foundation is pleased to collaborate with QVC to support Feeding America for the third consecutive year,” said Barbara Westfield, Member Board of Directors, the Housewares Charity Foundation. “Our mission is to help fight hunger by helping to provide access to meals and nutrition. This event has allowed us to share our mission with more consumers and inspire more people to give back.”

In 2022, the Living for Giving campaign generated more than $1 million, which helped to provide more than 10 million meals³ to people facing hunger. For more than 40 years, the Feeding America network of food banks, statewide food bank associations, food pantries and meal programs has supported tens of millions of people who experience food insecurity by helping them access much needed food and resources.
