The Little Issues E-newsletter #445 – Life, laughter, and many nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my mates! As a substitute of sharing Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers with you this yr (and probably shopping for all kinds of issues I don’t even want!), I’m hoping you’ll be a part of me in serving to feed the hungry this vacation season.

What number of households might we feed if we work collectively to donate what we are able to? For every dollar donated through Feeding America 10 meals are provided – TEN meals, my mates, that’s no small factor. We’re all within the presence of starvation, seen or unseen, and even a greenback or two could make a distinction. If we hit our objective of $50,000, together we will provide 500,000 meals!

In the present day, I’m grateful for a fridge crammed with leftovers and praying that collectively we can assist feed as many households as potential by means of the vacation season. Barefeet In The Kitchen will match all donations made to Feeding America through this link, as much as $25,000.
