THE FINAL PUSH -- Less than $2,500 to go to reach our goal. Three days left! Help feed the hungry!
If you haven't donated to our year-end charity drive yet, now is the time to do it! Only three days until the end of the year, and the end of our Virtual Food Drive. Donations benefit Feeding America.

Every little bit helps. Even if you only have $5 to spare, you can help feed a hungry family. $5 can provide 35 meals!

Just click this link to donate:

http://help.feedingamerica.org/goto/du

And remember to K&R this thread so more people will see it.

2. That's awesome
I know there were a few people who said they would donate at the end of the week. Me? I'm doing all I can to not be a food pantry client.

But, I can :kick: this thread.

10. It counts
Every little bit helps. In fact, I think it would be cool if smaller donations made up the remaining $2,000.

18. So do I. 2,000 $5 donations works out to a cool $10,000.
We are invincible in numbers.

12. I give an automatic payment of 50 bucks a month
to them and an extra donation in Nov. They are a worthy charity. I love DU and the wonderful people who frequent the board!

13. I normally give to animal charities, plus a local foodbank and shelter -
but this month my biggest single donation is to this group. I had never heard of them before, so I thank Skinner for hosting this.

21. Anyone else like me out there????
Money has been tight, but I get paid again on Friday, and will probably donate tomorrow night in anticipation of the direct deposit. Anyone else just waiting for payday?

37. Sad to see that donors are taking the opportunity
to slam Obama, Skinner and DU while making a donation. Giving should be done with a joyful heart, not with one with malice. I'm sure there are valid points to be made, but do you really have to step on the hungry to do it?

41. Absolutely
If something bugs me that much, I don't let if fester, much less feed it. I just walk away. Life's too short to dwell on negativity.
