General Mills has a long history of supporting the United Way
through employee and retiree campaigns. The General Mills Foundation matches employee and retiree contributions
dollar-for-dollar. Our employee and retiree contributions, together with the matching amount from the Foundation
raised $7.6 million for the Greater Twin Cities United Way in 2008. In total, General Mills employees and retirees
across the United States and Canada contributed more than $11.4 million to the company's 2007 United Way campaign.
