His company was purchased in 1956 by Consolidated Foods, where Mr. Lubin continued to serve as a senior executive for many years. In 1985, Consolidated Foods changed its name to Sara Lee Corporation. Although Sara has never had a management role at the corporation, she has appeared in some television advertisements for our bakery products. In her words, her father told her the product “had to be perfect because he was naming it after me.” Today, Sara is a philanthropist who spends most of her time supporting the education and advancement of women and girls in science.

Will Sara Lee make a donation to my organization?
All Sara Lee product donations go through two nonprofit agencies funded in part by the Sara Lee Foundation. These organizations make sure our products are safely and efficiently distributed by local food banks and human care agencies across the U.S. That means we do not make one-time gifts of products for individual events. If you are seeking a product donation, contact “America's Second Harvest” for food products, and “Gifts in Kind” for non-food products. For monetary donations, please visit the Sara Lee Foundation website.
