Hiya! I didn't forget what today is. I came home from work to find a 'Goodwill' bag in the mailbox so I've been going through my clothes and filling that bag up. Now that it's done, lets get to this weeks charity!
I'm donating $10 to "Daily Bread Food Bank" ~ a non-profit, charitable organization that is fighting to end hunger in Toronto. Every year thousands of people across the city rely on food banks. Daily Bread serves these people through neighbourhood food banks and meal programs in over 170 member agencies. Along with providing food for those who need it, they links individuals, companies, schools and community groups together by creating social change to reduce poverty through research, education and advocacy.
After a quick glance at their 2010 Hunger Statistics, I find it disturbing that the need for food is growing ~ not just in adults with families, but also among the youth (18 and under). I know that $10 can't get you a lot of food, but it does help create awareness and that is just as important.
I challenge anyone to do more.
