36 DUers donated $2,100 to America's Second Harvest in 24 hours! We got the full $1000 match!
Yesterday I announced that DUer Midlodemocrat offered $1000 for a 24-hour 1-for-1 match for donations to America's Second Harvest.

Today I am pleased to report that in the last 24 hours, we brought in 36 donations worth a total of $2,100. So, we have qualified for the full $1000 match! That brings our total for the Year-End Charity Donation Drive to $3,483!

Thank you to everyone who donated. And thank you, Midlodemocrat!

The Charity donation drive lasts until December 31, so there is still plenty of time to donate. To make sure your contribution is included in our total, please click this link before you donate:

Interested in funding a donation drive challenge?

If anyone is thinking of making a large donation to America's Second Harvest, please consider offering it as a challenge to encourage other people to donate. It's a great way to multiply the value of your contribution! To organize a challenge, please send me a private message or email.

I am hopeful that we can do as well this year. But I think the economy may make it difficult.
