12 Days of Giving #5

Upping the ante. This one is going to cost you- a little. Ready for the challenge?

Give to the food bank.

Over the holidays we usually have special dinners to prepare or attend. Even when money is tight, we try to have things that make the season special to the family. For years, the only time I bought Gherkin pickles was at Christmas. That $1 jar of tiny sweet pickles always signaled the start of a special special occasion to my daughter.

When you're shopping this week, pick up one extra can of…something, and drop it into the food bank donation bin before you leave the store.

For every person who adds a comment today, I'll purchase an item for someone where I'm staying—somewhere in Ecuador. You've got until midnight to add a comment. Let me know what special food treat your family enjoys over the holidays. (And if I'm stuck without internet today? I'll let it rooooolllll!)
