Last year I made a post asking for you to give. No one did, but here I am again with the same request. For the month of December, make a donation to either the Atlanta Community Food Bank or a similar agency in your own community and I will match it dollar for dollar (for as long as my money holds out anyway).
I realize a lot of you are probably just working from paycheck to paycheck or even looking for work so I certainly won’t fault you if you don’t or can’t, but even five or ten dollars would be a help to these groups especially as your five dollars would become ten, your ten twenty. If you do choose to donate, let me know (anonymously if you prefer) either with a comment or by sending an email to donate at digital-guerrilla dot com.
To make things a bit easier, below are groups near where some of you live and you can find more at either the National Hunger Clearinghouse, Charity Navigator (which includes ratings based on a group’s financial reports), or the set list page of Bruce Springsteen’s site (just scroll down that page a bit and off to the right side are the groups he’s had at his concerts).
