Tis the season for giving and every year I totally procrastinate on this part of the holiday. It's not that I don't feel generous this time of year, it's just that it all starts to feel like a lot of stuff. So it got me to thinking about where I'd really like to put that good earned money.
So of course I thought... give food!
And what better than to give food where it's needed locally?
The result of this idea is in no way a complete list, but I have attempted to come up with some local food based organizations that would benefit from charitable donations or the gift of volunteering this year.
Here are a few to start....
Community Kitchen
Shalom Farms
Also, think about the gift of membership to a local food based organization like Slow Food RVA
Or join a local CSA or Food Club.
And contact your neighborhood churches to learn about how to donate to their Food Pantry.
Please help us expand our list, feel free to comment and propose any other opportunities.
Happy giving!
Casey, this is such a great idea! And some of these places would love volunteers too so it's also a great way to get out there and make a difference for free! Thanks for reminding me of all the great places making a difference here in Richmond!
