Today I went to the grocery store and bought more canned foods than I probably ever have before. You see, this Saturday is pick up day for the Portland Food Project. It's been a few months since I've gotten my bags out for pick up, but this time, I'm ready.
I've mentioned it before, but 10% of the dollars from each cake you purchase goes towards buying food for local families through the Portland Food Project.
If you haven't heard about this awesome organization, you must check it out. Never has helping other people been so easy. You simply go online and request a bag, which will be dropped off at your door. Then every time you go to the store for groceries, pick up an item or two to donate. Every two months your neighborhood coordinator will come around, pick up your bags and replace them with a new one.
How great is that!?! Check out the video below to learn a little more about how the Food Project works. When I watched it, it made me feel kind of emotional. I can't imagine what it would be like to be hungry, especially with a family, not knowing how I would provide for them. And yet like the video says, there is power in community. It's amazing what, together, people can do.

Since I started doing this last year, together we've donated over $41 dollars worth of food. Now I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but for now, I think that's pretty cool, and sure I appreciate your help in accomplishing that.
If you'd like to join me in helping provide food for individuals and families in our community, sign up. I really can't think of an easier way to give back to others.
