give again

Posted: May 23rd, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: personal, society | No Comments »

Having received my stimulus check, it’s time to do this again. Between now and the end of June, make a donation to either the Atlanta Community Food Bank or your own local food bank and I will match the donation. If you can’t donate money, but can donate food, I’ll match that as well. The two times I’ve issued this challenge before it was in December, a time of year when we have giving and charity on the mind anyway, but hunger knows no season. So however you do it, give as you can and then let me know what you gave either in a comment on this post or via 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).
