A Menu for Hope

Posted Monday, December 11, 2006 at 10:18AM

menuforhopelogo.gifWhat with all the running around, shopping for gifts, it’s sometimes easy to forget the real meaning of giving during the holiday season. As you salivate over shiny kitchen gadgets and scrumptious Christmas cookies on your favorite food blogs, be mindful that millions around the world are starving, today and everyday.

Dozens of food bloggers around the world are making an effort to help out, with A Menu for Hope, hosted by Chez Pim. Each blogger is donating something (in some cases many things) that you simply have to have. All you have to do is donate cold, hard cash for an opportunity to win something fabulous.

Each $10 donated is worth one raffle ticket entry for the prize or prizes of your choice. Think about it: For ten bucks, you could potentially win a once-in-a-lifetime experience, like coffee with Thomas Keller of The French Laundry. Or an autographed set of four books by Anthony Bourdain. Or a big ol’ Kitchenaid stand mixer, fire engine red of course.

Donating is easy:

1. Choose a prize or prizes of your choice from our Menu for Hope.

2. Go to the donation site at http://www.firstgiving.com/menuforhopeIII and make a donation.

3. Each $10 you donate will give you one raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. Please specify which prize you’d like in the ‘Personal Message’ section in the donation form when confirming your donation. You must write-in how many tickets per prize, and please use the prize code—for example, a donation of $50 can be 2 tickets for EU01 and 3 for EU02. (Please use the double-digits, not EU1, but EU01.)

4. If your company matches your charity donation, please check the box and fill in the information so we could claim the corporate match.

5. Please allow us to see your email address so that we could contact you in case you win.  Your email address will not be shared with anyone.

Then, check back on Chez Pim on January 15 for the results of the raffle.

So won’t you shell out a few sawbucks to feed the hungry?

It's a great and worthy cause you are working on. It feels so good to know that people still care. People are still willing to donate their time and effort for good causes. It really matters a lot. Making a difference in some body's life, through online efforts. Keep it up.
