I will be participating in the El Dorado County Food Bank’s Walk For Hunger, scheduled for Saturday, November 10, 2007.
I am proud to announce that the way I found out about this event was a legacy of the blogathon for hunger that Bridget and I did last year on another blog. Hence the nice letter from The Food Bank that I got over on the right.
I’d like to ask for your ideas and input about how to make this a more effective event. For example, I signed up as a team, and I could sponsor a “virtual walker” or two and raffle off their tee shirts to the subscribers of the blog.
I should have some kind of matching contributions set up and a way to sponsor me officially online in a day or two.
Meantime, if you just can’t wait to help out, that’s a good thing. If so just click here to make a donation via PayPal.
Or if you prefer to donate at a national level instead of supporting some county you may or may not have heard of or care about, click the America’s Second Harvest banner below.
Here is that link I promised:

As you can see when you follow that link, Elite Properties will match your contributions up to the first $100.00.
One statistic that you may be interested in is that for every dollar you contribute, the El Dorado County Food Bank distributes $9.00 worth of food. With the matching contributions, that means that $10.00 from you provides $180.00 in much needed food to hungry families.
Again, if there are other ways you can think of to make the event more successful or if you would like to walk with me as part of the Elite Properties team, let me know.
Last night at what was some ungainly hour of the night New York local time, Laurie Mindnich, a New York Realtor® and an ActiveRain participant, put compassion into action and in one deft stroke, transformed the results of our fundraising effort for the El Dorado County Food Bank’s Hunger Walk from zero to reached our fundraising goal.
