Today is the day to clean out your storage and donate your items to the Stamp Out Hunger drive through the USPS!! Kaley from Cha-Ching on a Shoestring has organized an effort to encourage us bloggers as well as all of our readers to join and participate in a giving challenge! We were so excited that the efforts made by all participating were acknowledged by the National Stamp Out Hunger drive from the USPS , in addition to MSN Smart Money also encouraging others to participate with us!! Also, see our previous post for more details as well!
So we went through a newly organized pantry, and also our storage and pulled out boxed foods that we could give to this drive! So here is what we were able to rally up quickly! Our son was eager to help find things to give and so he wanted to be in the picture! In fact, he loaded up the bags for daddy to put by the mailbox for the postman to pick up!! Our first round had a bag of Beech Nut baby food. As the Stamp Out Hunger drive is not accepting glass, we are planning to give this to a family that recently had twins!!
So, will you join us today? We have heard from some of you already and would love to hear your progress today! Well, there is an event page on Facebook that has been created for us all to join together for this effort. So you can also join us and our couponing community by visiting the Facebook page and say that you are attending! There are over 250 so far!! PLUS you will see a list of about 60 other bloggers that are participating as well!
Leave us a comment and share your experience, PLUS Kaley at Cha Ching on a Shoestring has a place for us all to go and share our experience – so head over there and leave a comment or a link if you have a blog!
