Today is the 2nd annual April Food Day spearheaded by fellow bloggers Meg Fairfax Fielding of Pigtown*Design and Chris Cox of Easy and Elegant Life.
While our heads are often in the clouds of gorgeous interiors and high end products, most of us really have our feet on the ground when it comes to those in need. With the economy, likely all of us have been experiencing some level of personal financial struggles, or know someone who has. If you've ever paused to decide between going grocery shopping or running the heat or putting gas in the car even once, then you know a little of what some people experience all the time. As tough as things are, if you're reading a computer screen and can even dream of beautiful interiors, then you, and I, are blessed and we need to "pay it forward".
April Food Day is our annual reminder to help out and asks that we all make a donation, no matter how small, to Feeding America. They are annually feeding 37 MILLION Americans, including 14 million children. This represents a 46% increase over 2006. There is need, no question.
This year, in order to track the success of the April Food Day initiative, there is a special donation page that has been set up.
Thanks to Meg and Chris for making this great event happen. If you have any questions, you can email Meg here or Chris here.
Thank you.
