Traulsen and Hobart Announce Second Winner of Save Your Kitchen 2021

FORT WORTH, Texas (June 3, 2021) – In honor of School Lunch Hero Day, ITW Food Equipment Group is proud to announce the second winner of the Save Your Kitchen 2021 campaign sweepstakes.  Hawkins ISD in Hawkins, Texas, won by random selection the second of four drawings for 2021.

This sixth iteration of the popular K-12 kitchen equipment makeover initiative kicked off earlier this year.  Save Your Kitchen will provide free Traulsen and Hobart kitchen equipment to four winning sweepstake entrants.  Hawkins ISD is the second recipient this year of the new kitchen equipment prize package from the Save Your Kitchen campaign.  With one kitchen serving the whole district, the winning ISD serves 732 students from pre-school through 12^th grade. 

Hawkins selected a new Traulsen 8-Crate Milk Cooler (RMC34S) to keep their milk cold, organized, and easy to reach.  Capable of holding up to (8) 13”x13”x11” crates, the cooler will always be well-stocked for any meal rush. The cooler will also help the kitchen keep up with the increased need for extra milk for its supper program.

The school also selected a Centerline™ by Hobart 20 Quart Mixer (HMM20), that has the Hobart quality every kitchen wants and the essential performance it needs.  The mixer replaced an older model and is a perfect fit for their kitchen because it can be used for multiple applications.

“Thank you Traulsen and Hobart,” said Hawkins ISD Child Nutrition Director Lesa Gibson.  “We have high participation from the kids in our lunch and supper programs because we are able to offer fresh homemade food options daily.  This equipment is much needed in our schools. It pays to play!”

According to Gibson, student nutrition is very important to the district and they make sure the students get a fresh, balanced meal every school day.  The mixer will allow them to make fresh homemade food for their students, and the milk cooler will keep milk at the proper temperature and available to the kids.

“We are excited that schools are taking advantage of the 2021 Save Your Kitchen Campaign as an opportunity to help upgrade their kitchens with much needed equipment,” said Hailey Elting, Business Development Manager and K-12 Specialist at Traulsen. “Hundreds of schools enter every year, which tells us that there is a real need for new, upgraded equipment to be able to provide nutritious and delicious meals for students.  What a great way to see our products at work.”

The next giveaway is the largest prize package of the year, and it has already begun.  The sweepstakes is open to K-12 nutrition professionals in the 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Among the products offered in this year’s giveaways are Traulsen refrigerators, a freezer or a milk cooler plus a Hobart slicer or mixer for all four giveaways, as well as a Hobart AM-style dishmachine for the July drawing only. Different products may be available for specific drawings. The entry deadline for the third drawing is July 16, 2021, at 11:59 p.m.  Sweepstake details, entry form, products and other information can be found at www.SaveYourKitchen.com.
