April Food Day


On April Fool's Day, instead of demonstrating your sense of humor, why not demonstrate your humanity? Many in this economic downturn are hurting, and food banks are watching their shelves run bare, while need is so high. It is mind-bending that in the greatest country in the world, millions go to sleep hungry every night. Bloggers are trying to help today by donating to their local food bank or to Feeding America, formerly Second Harvest, a national food bank with 200 member banks across the country. $1 provides 7 meals. Think of the difference we could make today if each blogger and their readers contributed even $1 to this cause. Click here to link to Feeding America and thank you. I feel fortunate that I have the luxury of writing about design and fashion instead of wondering how to put food on the table tonight.
