One of the best things about blogging is meeting other bloggers who are insightful, hilarious, awesome and all the things you aspire to be. Few people fit that description as well as Scary Mommy, whom it’s been my pleasure to get to know this year.
Well, it turns out Scary Mommy is also (who knew?) a good person. After a bunch of moms anonymously confessed on her site that they were having trouble feeding their families, she started her own charity to treat them to Thanksgiving dinners. She’s been doing it for the last two years and feeding hundreds of families.
Because I am far too lazy to organize something like this myself and arguably not as good a person as she is, I am simply linking to her Thanksgiving Project here. It’s a good cause, it’s tax deductible and for $50 you can help feed an entire family. If you don’t have that much to give, then give what you can and let someone else chip in the cranberry sauce. It’s all good.
Or if you need help yourself, she’s also taking applications.
Good luck with the project, Jill!
Wow, that’s awesome!
I didn’t know about this–I just donated!!
I love Scary Mommy! Thanks for sharing this, I hadn’t seen it yet.
Dude. This rocks. Making a note to blog about this and get my family involved….Great reminder of the little things we can do that mean so much for others!
That’s awesome!! I am so inspired I might try to do something similar in my area!!
