OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Food Bank for the Heartland now has $110,000 more to work with to help make sure families in rural parts of Nebraska and Iowa get enough to eat. The money will help feed about 2,000 families in the region over the next year. A unit of ConAgra Foods sponsored a golf event last month that raised the money.

Bill Stoufer, president of ConAgra Mills, says organizing the event gives his team a chance to give back to the community. ConAgra is based in Omaha and makes food brands such as Chef Boyardee, Orville Redenbacher and Marie Callender’s. It is also the largest maker of store-brand products.
