OK, DUers. You did $10,000 to feed the hungry. Not too shabby. But can you do...

[Skinner]

$15,000?

That's right. We've upped our goal. $15,000 can provide more than 100,000 meals to feed the hungry. Let's make a difference this holiday season.

The Virtual Food Drive ends at midnight on New Year's Eve. Click here to donate:

50. Good for all you who are inspired to donate through D.U.

I wish I could. But my partner and I donated to 3 or 4 different causes early in autumn on our own. One is the HSUS, others are the Salvation Army and there are 2 more.

I imagine a big group donation has more 'oomph.'. God bless those who are generous to those who need help. :)

67. Kick for those of you salaried folks receiving your 2nd check of the month -

time to help out those who need to eat. For less than $200 you can feed more than 1000 people. Absolutely ludicrous in such a wealthy nation that we have to do this, but this is where we are. Please help if you can.

69. Just donated but

donated to some other organizations today too. One that made me sad though was the one for transplant recipient Franciso Feix that Keith Olberman featured on his show recently because after all that publicity he only was at about 15% of his goal. Here is his link if anyone is interested:

These people were also featured but they appear to be further along with their goals:
