Who's up for a new challenge? ( see the end of the post)
Shoppers is offering 20x the points this Saturday. I'm taking the money I saved from not buying coffee this month and I'm going to buy food items for the food bank. I've decided on buying 4 cans of coffee, 4 bags of sugar, 4 jars of peanut butter for the food banks. I will buy some girls stuff for the house. I figure that I'll spend about 55.00 at Shopper's. I'll bag the food items and drop them off to Tim Horton's this week-end.
Some other good items for the food bank that you may not think about are shampoo, soap, tooth paste, dental floss, laundry soap, razors, toilet paper, diapers, pads, tampons, etc. ( If you don't have money for food, you may not have enough for personal hygiene items either).
Food pantry staples are good too.Things like tea, rice, pasta, canned fruit and veggies, pasta sauces, ketchup, mayo, mustard, beans, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pepper, etc.
Many of us are so fortunate in being able to buy what we like at the grocery store and never having to choose between putting food in fridge or paying for rent. If you can, please give to your local food bank this Christmas. A box of pasta can make a difference to a family in need.
If you knit, consider adding mittens, scarves and hats to your donation.
Actually how about a challenge people? Give to the food bank and post your photos the month of December! Anyone in? I have no idea how I'll track it, but I'm sure someone maybe able to help.

We just had a huge food drive in Oct which was really great, but sadly still not enough. Count me in.
