Charities of Choice 2006, Part III: Our Local Food Bank
The third and final charity that we are focusing on this year is our local food bank. They’re actually part of America’s Second Harvest, which is the “National Food Bank Network.” You can go here and search by zip code to find details about your own local food bank. We opted to make a cash donation as opposed to donating goods because we want the food bank to have the flexibility to purchase what they most need, as opposed to making do with our best guess. If you’re looking for a worthy charity, please consider donating to your local food bank.
