Double your Grocery Giving

Feeding America is still looking for donations to help feed hungry families this holiday season.

They hope to raise enough money for 3 million bags of groceries.

Proctor and Gamble have teamed up to help.

Right now for every dollar you donate, they will match it for a total donation up to $75,000.

So, for $5 you can now provide 10 bags of groceries.

[A donation of $25 can feed a family of four for 2 weeks!!!]

Go here to donate today!

You can also give the gift of a donation in someone else's name.

Perhaps you have someone difficult to buy for. This would be a great gift.

Go here to donate in their  name.

Today is the day.....

If you live in blogland even a little, today is the day.

The Bloggers Give Back Project is a fundraising project specifically for the holiday season.

They choose one deserving and in-need family and all of the proceeds go to this family.

Bloggers from all over have donated items that will be auctioned off today. The items range from tax preparation, photography sessions,

interior design services,

jewelry, accessories,

books,

art,

clothing (oh how I love EmersonMade).....all sorts of goodies.

I am personally loving these!

You don't need to have a blog to participate.

Go here.

Look at all of the amazing items and leave a comment with your bid.

You MUST leave your name, email address, and bid.

You also need to have a PayPal Account.

If you don't already have one, quickly go here to set one up.

Get bidding today.

They also promised everything would be shipped in time for Christmas, so perhaps, you can finish up some last minute shopping AND support a good cause.

GO! GO! GO!

P.S. Feel free to purchase any of the above items as a gift for me. :)

Just sayin'!

Hearts of Haiti

Did you see this post on DesignMom today? (One of my favorite blogs!)



It's all about an organization that is trying to help orphans in Haiti.

Check out her post about it here.

If you want to see the Hearts of Haiti blog keeping you up to date on their progress with pictures and a direct link to donate, go here.

**There will be a LIVE CHAT today that you can find here.**

They are currently trying to raise $1000 to install a basic playing field for the children.

Check it out.

P.S. They are trying to raise $50,000 to establish the orphanage. This would be a great fundraiser for a small group or family to participate in during the holiday season!

The Bread Art Project

I have a really fun way to give back and do some good today.

You will have fun.

I promise.

The Grain Foods Foundation is helping to fight childhood hunger and raise awareness of the hunger problem in this country with the

Bread Art Project.

For every piece of art created by you and me (and others), they will donate

$1 to Share Our Strength.

They are giving an outright donation of $50,000 to Share Our Strength, but will increase that donation up to another $50,000 for a total donation of $100,000.

But they need you.

Go here to the Bread Art Project.

Create a piece of virtual bread art.

Done. $1 goes to Share Our Strength.

Hurry. This only goes until June 30th.

At the time this post was created they were at $48,920.

They still need over one thousand people to design a piece of bread.

You should be one of them.

It takes just a few minutes.

You can stroll through the gallery and you won't believe what others were able to do!

Wo.


If you create a slice, download it and send it to me. I'd love to see it.


Maybe we'll even have our own gallery.

Here's mine.


{Okay, okay. I did two of them, but I can't find the other one.}


So clicky clicky clack and do some good today.




Toast anyone?
(Doesn't it sound so good now?!)
