January’s Monthly Impact Challenge idea comes from reader Aresby:
We’ve all been generous through the season, but hunger doesn’t stop with the holidays. Let’s continue to remember the needy children, families and seniors! How about putting aside an extra can of veggies every day. Or next time there’s a two-fer, save that “free” can for others. At your next dinner party or when friends come to watch the game, ask guests to bring cans of food or boxes of cereal instead of a six-pack or box of chocolates. You don’t need those extra calories anyway, right? (Ok, so maybe I should only speak for myself.)
This month’s challenge will be judged by weight, so collect these canned and unopened non-perishable goods*, and weigh your bag(s) before delivering them to your local food bank. (more…)
