Giant Food- Triple Winner

Last week Giant Food of Maryland kicked off their annual Triple Winner campaign to raise funds for the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Cancer Center in Baltimore. Each ticket costs only a dollar and is either a coupon for one dollar off of an item, a free item valued at or around a dollar, or the ultimate grand prize, ten thousand dollars of your own. As you can see it's a great chance to give back and provide funds to help study cancer and you get something of value with every ticket. Get to your local Giant Food and buy one when you check out today.

Feed The People

Here is another effort to feed the people who are in need of it and this is an international program so If you're not in the DC area this one is for you. If you have the ability to do so you can e-mail defendingthepoor@yahoo.com for more information and help.

Feed The Hood

In another event that is making sure people get fed much like the large scale effort launched by the food network, the National Black United Front is attempting to help make sure everyone has enough to eat. The great thing about this program is it isn't relegated to the holidays but throughout the year because it's not just when you have the wintery spirit that people have trouble finding food. Check the flyer and if you're in the DC area give some of your time, or some goods to some people who might need it more than you.
