Please make sure to donate to your local food pantry today - Souper Bowl of Caring
Edited on Sun Feb-04-07 01:28 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Part of the Souper Bowl of Caring.

I suggest you donate whatever you are spending on your snacks/meals for the Super Bowl.

Or more.

I gave more!! Of course, I'm only cooking for one and won't be watching the game, so that's not saying much. But I gave $20.

1. Kicking for the nacho/chili/beer fundraiser.
Food pantries make good use of our dollars.

2. Yes, good point - give MONEY, do not give food
Food pantries generally can buy food for about a tenth of what we can buy it for (the ones in my town get it for 12-15 cents a pound) - your money will go further by giving the pantry money instead of buying canned/boxed food.

I will be following your OP advice momentarily...
