to help out struggling folks by purchasing and donating two food items to a local pantry this weekend.
It can be two cans of veggies from the dollar store (2 for $1) Maybe it's something you had extra of in your pantry, or you bought 2 or 3 and your kids hate it with a passion. Or something you got free with a coupon that you're just not sure you'll ever use.
Check with your local food pantry - maybe they even take donations of personal care items as well - what couponer doesn't have an extra toothpaste in their cabinets? ;)
Whatever it is, just donate something to a local food bank of your choice. Many are starting to have to turn away families because they just don't have enough - and that's a scary thought. Flip a coin - what if it was you trying to stretch two days worth of food into a week for your family? Think Karma! (Just remember to check the dates before donating if it's from your own cabinets)
(and if you absolutely can't afford it, I totally understand. See those two buttons off to the right side of my blog there? The Hunger Site and The Animal Rescue Site? You can click through to their site every day and a tiny donation will be made to charity! Even that helps!)
