With the wobbly economy, Menu for Hope 5 has taken a little more time to pick up steam.
What is Menu for Hope if you wondered?
It brings bloggers the world over who use their combined power to raise funds for the UN World Food Programme.
In the past couple of days many people have contributed to Menu for Hope V and brought us as of this minute to $40,645.00
Not bad yet $50,000 less than last year tally so Pim decided to extend the deadline to December 31st.
Let's make this last week of 2008 an orgy of giving rather than getting.
As Alder of Vinography reminds us that there are still A Ton of Prizes including The Wine Prizes that have only one or two raffle
tickets purchased for them so far, meaning your $10 donation to the hungry children of Lesotho
could easily get you something awesome.
A great example is Prize WB05 offered by Corked:
of custom labeled Zinfandel (a $700.00 value). The prize includes our
Full Custom Design service, one case of Brutocao Cellars Zinfandel
(subject to availability, may be exchanged for a case of equal or
lesser value Brutocao wine), and ground shipping to eligible states in the US.
I bet you already see your name on that bottle (that case) so without further ado head straight to the Donation Page, do not stop at the bank or get sent to jail before you have a chance to contribute.
Thanks in advance!
