Stamp Out Hunger - And a Giveaway


This is easiest food drive ever! Seriously, you don't have to take the food anywhere but your mailbox--and the post office will pick it up for you for free! How easy is that.

This is also a great time to do some spring cleaning of your cabinets. Do you know that canned food, and boxed food, expires? Yes, it does. So, go check those cabinets...check the expiration dates on that food, and ask yourself, am I really going to use this before it expires? If you don't think you will, why not toss it in a box and put it by your mailbox on May 8? (And if it's already expired, toss it out, for your own safety).


GIVEAWAY
Oh yeah...I mentioned a giveaway, didn't I? To promote this good cause (which I am not affiliated with in any way), I thought I'd give away some food related stuff that doesn't come in cans or boxes...to one of you!


One of you can win the book "Should I Eat This?" from the editors of ShopSmart, as well as some articles on healthy living, and some recipes (some healthier than others). There's a few coupons in there too.

Want to win this? Do any of the things on the list below, and make sure to leave a comment for each thing saying what you did, and also include an e-mail):
  1. Commit to take part in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive by leaving some food for your mail carrier (you don't have to sign anything...just say you will).
  2. Twitter about Stamp Out Hunger and include the URLhttp://www.helpstampouthunger.com
  3. Blog about Stamp Out Hunger.
  4. Place the stamp out hunger widget or badge on your blog or website.
  5. Do anything else to promote Stamp Out Hunger that I don't have listed here and tell me what you did.
Giveaway ends May 7, 2010 and is open to US entrants only. If you don't claim your prize within 1 week, or if you leave no way to contact you, you forfeit it.

  4. I left food out last year for stamp out hunger, and I'm definitely doing it again this year. I just feel sorry for our poor mailwoman, she has to walk to deliver mail...she doesn't drive up to the mailboxes, so I always just deliver it to the post office to save her the trouble! :)

  5. I am not sure if this counts for #5, but I am a teacher and I developed flyers and sent them home with the students in our K4 through 12 grade school to either leave their non-perishables at their mailboxes (but preferably the post office) or bring them to the school by Friday and they would be delivered to the post office.

  12. AND - Actually, I have my own post (but not a giveaway one - just a PSA) scheduled to run on my blog starting tonight. It's a very worthy cause and NOT hard to do at all!
