This season we are taking part in a great cause - The San Diego Food Bank Food 4 Kids Backpack Program. I found out about this program from blogger friends, Alice Q Foodie and Caron Golden of San Diego Foodstuff. Many children in our community are going hungry. Though they can often get free or reduced cost meals from school, they may not have food available over the weekends and holidays. Every friday, Food 4 Kids provides backpacks full of food to eligible elementary school children to help get them through the weekend.
How can you help?
- • Donate funds by going to the Food 4 Kids donation page.
- • Let your friends know by sharing this link on Facebook, Twitter, or your blog.
- • Come visit the Food 4 Kids booth at the Little Italy Mercato farmers market on Dec 12th from 9-12, and donate nutritious kid-friendly food (fruit roll ups, juice boxes, fruit cups, granola bars, and boxed items), school supplies (pencils, pens, markers, crayons, paper, etc), and backpacks.
Need a bit more incentive to give? Wait, there’s something in it for you! :-) Everyone who donates will be entered into a drawing to win some fabulous prizes. We are donating a copy of Thomas Keller’s new cookbook Ad Hoc At Home. A full list of prizes can be found tomorrow on Alice Q Foodie’s site.
Please, do whatever you can to help. Thanks!
