Unrelated but worthy


This is irrelevant to design and I'm not even from New Jersey, but its such a good cause and it breaks my heart to think of the dwindling food supply in our own country. I'm sure the problem with food banks is country-wide. The unemployment rate in NC is over 9% in most counties and is projected to be over 10% by the end of 2009 if things don't pick up.

Please add this link to your blog or pass the word along if you can't make a monetary donation (like me). Here is a snippet from Househubbie's website:

If everyone could just do a little, it would help those in need a lot. To help, people can:
  1. Make a monetary contribution: Visit www.njfoodbank.org.
  2. Donate food: Drop off a bag of food at your local food pantry.
  3. Organize a food drive: We can help explain the logistics of starting a food drive. Just call 908-355-FOOD.
  4. Help "Check Out Hunger:" Look for the "Check Out Hunger" coupons at your local supermarket and donate. No donation is too small!
