Guelph Food Bank | cans for comments : news

December 9, 2008

I’m sensing that “It’s better to give than to receive” is really meaning a lot to people this year.  I’m hearing of many stories of families who are giving up their gifts so that families who don’t have anything can have enough to live. I love that.  And Justin & I want to do our part.

So WHAT’S the deal?  Well…for the next 7 days – for every person who comments on ANY of our blog entries – we will donate a canned good to the Guelph Food Bank.  So spread the news and start commenting because you have until next Tuesday evening to share the love by giving us a little love :)

Thanks to Chris+Lynn for coming up with this unique way to giveaway!
