Even if they know you have a pledge in place for the same amount every year for, say, five years, I think that's way more helpful for planning than just random donations. That being said...they'll take everything they can get! Glad you're helping out. Kate, that’s definitely the case, from what I understand.

Thanks. I read every hunger challenge post, first word to last, avidly. I'm thinking I might set up an automatic donation to my local food bank, since eratic contributions are one of the things that make their work so difficult. --Kate This is inspiring. Thanks.

And yes -- you're known for staying close to the source, so I'm not worried about you not doing your part. :-) Well, I’d say you’ve had your plate full lately, Sean, so I think you get a pass!

It's not that I don't want to, or couldn't if I really put my mind to it ... it's more that I simply cannot take on any new challenges right now. :) But I'll do my best to stay close to the source, I promise!

The folks who might need a delicious meal or snack prepared locally but can't afford it or make it themselves because they don't have a kitchen would love it if you shared some of the local bounty. You know when I show up at the local park with goodies for people it's a little weird for me because I'm a fairly noticeable single female and I don't fit in but nobody has ever done anything to scare me other than ask for a kiss and I just said no. Everyone is, however, very thankful for the kindness and I get a lot more thank you than when I take a group of well fed kids or adults treats. So here’s my thought with your challenge.

AACK. Although, now that I don't have a garden, it's less of a problem. No matter...it's still not going to be four and a half feet of snow, and for that? I'm grateful. Tom, I'm still a little wary of canning -- need to get over that, but have not yet figured out how to do it. I need someone to give me canning lessons! Ayse, aack. AACK.
