The work of gathering prizes is over for A Menu for Hope III. It’s time to buy tickets and bid on a whole bunch of really terrific stuff.
I’m part of Kalyn’s Kitchen’s region of donors and have donated two sets of cookbooks. The first one is donated by This Mama Cooks! (Prize Code UC03)
- Saving Dinner the Low-Carb Way
- Small-Batch Baking
- Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think
- Your Kitchen’s Magic Wand: Getting the Most Out of Your Handheld Immersion Blender
A Readable Feast (Prize Code UC02) has donated:
(All of the books I have donated are in new or like new shape and will be mailed out to the winner via media mail.)
Not only are there cookbooks and yummy treats, but a pass to BlogHer and an iPod Nano in our region. You can see the entire list of A Menu for Hope III prizes at Chez Pim.
Here’s how you bid:
- Go to the donation page at First Giving.
- Make a donation, each $10 will give you one raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. Please specify which prize or prizes you’d like in the ‘Personal Message’ section in the donation form when confirming your donation. Do tell us how many tickets per prize, and please use the prize code (for example, a donation of $50 can be 2 tickets for UW01 and 3 for UW02).
- If your company matches your charity donation, please remember to check the box and fill in the information so we could claim the corporate match.

All proceeds will benefit the United Nations World Food Program.

More than 110 million school-aged children in the world’s poorest countries suffer from hunger. The vast majority of them do not attend school. This is an unnecessary and preventable tragedy.
The George McGovern-Robert Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program provides meals in schools to some of these children. But there are many more that go to bed hungry.
Bipartisan legislation was recently introduced in Congress to expand the McGovern-Dole Program so that more children can attend school and be guaranteed at least one nutritious meal per day.
Help expand the George McGovern-Robert Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. Sign the petition.

Hi there. I think you do a great job (and I posted about your blog on
the Epicurious blog, the Epi-Log–http://www.epicurious.com/features/blogs/editor/2006/week45/index.html. I didn’t know about this effort and will publicize on Epicurious. Thanks so much and keep up the good work.
