Thanks too for the mention. I know this will inspire others to give and that means more food for those who need it; and that's more people than ever these days, as we all know. I think a lot of us can relate to your stories; both the relative "extravagances" many of us take for granted like our latte's and dining out (seems like drops in the bucket, but boy, it adds up, even as we tell ourselves "we deserve it!")and those "lean" times so many of us went through at some point in our lives. Good for you and your husband for all you do. Keep on writing and reaching for a better way! Hi Alice,

I donated $200 today (the last day of the Feinstein Challenge) to NW Harvest. So altogether that is $325 which will go to feed the hungry. And I am also aware other Food Bloggers also donated so that is wonderful because every little bit helps. Thanks for the donations Jak and Kelly.

Growing up our family had it rough as well. My brother and I were on the free lunch program at school and I remember times when all we had to eat were a can of beans to split between 4 people. I watched my parents starve themselves so my brother and I could eat. One thing that I do not take for granted in this world is food. I have a great passion and respect for it. But often when we are in a position of being on the "Have" side of the fence, it is easy to forget the "Have Not" side of that very same fence. It is good to be reminded, you are an inspiration. I have just donated $50 to Northwest Harvest. They are good people there doing a really wonderful thing, just like you. Warmest, Kelly Alice,
