Came across the following today. I don't use Yahoo search too often myself, but perhaps I can allocate a portion of my searches there to support this effort.
While you're at it, check out this related site. If you were planning to purchase anything from one of the retailers listed, why not use this site, and give money to a charity of your choice?
Thanksgiving in the United States is a holiday commemorating a meal offered in gratitude by a small band of newcomers, to the community which had helped them survive early beginnings. What better way to offer gratitude than to pass along something to those in need of assistance?
It's that time of year again. Time of obligation and congress. (I mean coming together, as in families, not the meaning better suited for New Year's Eve).
I've spent less than the average this year, as I always do. But there is one area I have not fulfilled my obligation in. Beyond the occasional meal or money or kind word to a homeless person, I have not yet donated anything to charity this season.
That changes now, and in a way suited to my love for all things gastronomic. It's time for the 4th Annual Menu for Hope. This is a way to donate money to buy raffle tickets, which can be used for a chance at some amazing culinary experiences or products. This is an effort put together by food bloggers from all over the world. Here's the link which explains the details, while Chez Pim has the details of the treats which you might score. And there are treats available not just in the US, but in Australia, Asia, and Europe. Maybe you can plan that next vacation around a wonderful meal.
Dig in, and take a chance. At worst, you will be supporting school lunch programs in Lesotho. And at best, who knows....
If you know any foodies, pass it on to them; they will thank you.
Thanks to Cori for finding this great idea. Tell all of your friends to play.
