Food bank fund drive in Montana ....


A very good friend of mine works with the food bank in Livingston, and they've organized a fundraiser, hoping to raise $3,000.

If you're so inclined, please check out the page and donate. They're behind schedule, and if you have even a fiver to donate, that would be great.

Thank you!

You're the only person who's replied (and I've posted this in 4 other forums (fora?)).

They're having a hard time raising money, and I'm not sure why. Yesterday's Farmer's Market in Bozeman only brought in $53. Where are all the people who drop more than $20/week on coffee? I'd think there would be at least 100 in the area who could pitch in.

Anyway, I appreciate the kick! Thanks!

Though pretty much everything that's not about current political events is bound to have a tough time on DU these days. I planned to check later and give this another kick if nobody else had. I'll also take a look at the other forums, is a terrific cause that DUers would ordinarily be supporting...

I also posted it in Cooking and Baking (hoping cooks might want to pitch in...), Frugal and Efficient Living, and the Montana forum.

I self-kicked it all three places a few nights ago.

I, personally, need to take many and varied breaks from the political free-for-all. Which is why I stay mostly in the Lounge!

And I limit my time out on the boards these days, too. I'm also grateful for The Lounge, it's been my sanctuary over the years, though I've never seen DU quite like this before and I remember 2004...
