Today Frigidaire has named Jennifer Garner as their new celebrity ambassador. If you’re not familiar with her work, you should give her a try. That said, they’ve not chosen her because she’s a stunning and talented actress (though she is) but because she’s a busy mom. Like me. Like you. Sure, her busy stuff is slightly different than my busy stuff but, let’s be honest, busy stuff is busy stuff. She’s come on board with Frigidaire to help launch their new line of appliances that help mom save time. Yes please!

What I love best about this pairing and the new appliances is the fact that they have paired with Save the Children, a non-profit group that helps kids. Here’s a bit more info about how they’re working together.

Frigidaire and Garner are asking Moms to think ahead to November 1st – the day all of us change the clocks and get an extra hour – and pledge to use that time to help make a difference in the lives of children. Save the Children created the CHANGE program (Creating Healthy, Active, and Nurturing Growing-up Environments) to promote healthier lifestyles for children living in poverty by providing nutritious snacks and regular opportunities for them to be physically active.

Starting today, everyone who goes to Frigidaire.com and raises her hand with a pledge to make time for a child, will commit Frigidaire to donate $1 to support the CHANGE. As an added bonus, everyone who pledges her time will be entered for a chance to win a new Frigidaire Professional double wall oven.

I love a program that encourages children to eat healthy and to be active. How will you plan on helping a child in your community? Will you take this idea to your local schools? Will you reach out to an after-school program with some healthy snacks? Will you mentor a youth in your community? The ideas and options for you to help a child are endless. What will you do?

In addition to the double wall oven that Frigidaire is giving away, Mom Central is also giving away one as well. Simply hit up their site and tell Mom Central how you plan on giving back to children in need. Mom Central will pick one winner at random.

I encourage you to Make Time for Change with Frigidaire, Jennifer Garner and Save the Children. Who knows, you could end up winning, save time in the kitchen and have even more time to give back to children who so desperately need you.
