Brown Bag Project

November 21, 2009

Objective:
Give the gift of food to those who are hungry. Take a needy family a meal or donate to a local food bank on 11/21/09. Then, use your blog to inspire others!

Hunger is an issue that affects millions of people around the world.

This year, on 11/21/09, BlogCatalog.com and HalfHourMeals.com are asking bloggers to help someone in need by packing a meal and delivering it to a family in need, holding a food drive at your school or church or business, or donating food or money to your local food bank.

Then, use your blog to raise awareness about hunger, share your what you learned from giving, or motivate others to help someone who is hungry.

BlogCatalog.com and HalfHourMeals.com staff will be hand delivering meals to families in San Antonio on the day of the event. We will be delivering them anonymously and attaching a card that says "from someone who cares about you."

If you are unable to physically deliver a meal to someone or deliver food to a food bank, there are ways to donate online.

Our local San Antonio Food Bank has a virtual food drive that makes donating food or funds as easy as clicking a few buttons. You can donate to their virtual food drive here: vad.aidmatrix.org/vadxml.cfm?driveid=537.

Or, look for a virtual food drive sponsored by your local food bank.

11/20/09 Today is our prep day...

by: jteitelman

Today we will be heading out to the store and purchasing everything we need to pack our bags full of a great meal for a family in need. With the help of 3 San Antonio area organizations/businesses, we have identified 5 families who are food insecure and could use some help providing meals for them and their children. And, over the next couple of days we will be delivering our brown bags filled with everything needed for a great Thanksgiving meal to their doors.

I have been excited about this

There is something so defining about the feeling I experience when I am gifting, sharing, caring for anyone or anything more than myself. Being selfless isn't always easy, but it is always rewarding. I find when I stop thinking about myself, what am I going to do today, or what movie am I going to watch, or what will I cook tonight, it is refreshing to think about other matters, others ... period.

We live in such a bountiful world which confuses me. No one should be without the necessities o
