Pay it forward...

My lovely friend Katie posted a wonderful suggestion on her blog today. She encouraged readers to make a donation to their local foodbank. Times are tough for so many people right now. In our household we have been VERY fortunate not to have been touched by this (knock on wood). There are many many hungry bellies across our city and around our world. It is so tough to hear about all of the tiny bellies that are hungry. Katie inspired me to make a difference today. Thanks Katie.

Denis and I just set up a monthly donation to our local foodbank. If you are in Ottawa I strongly encourage you to do the same. Every little bit helps - $5, $10 or more a month can go such a long way. If you want to make a difference in Ottawa go here. It's so quick and easy to set up a montly donation and it feels pretty darn good to know you are doing something.

If you are not in Ottawa, I encourage you to make a donation to your local foodbank. I hope with this post at least one person will set up a donation. Let me know if you do and I also encourage you to post on your blog so we can keep this going...
