The cupboard is bare

Donations to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank are at an all-time low. Yikes. While they've normally raised around $150K by this time of the year, they've only raised $22K this year.

Scary.

Especially since I had Noah, the thought of hungry children breaks my heart. (See, I'm tearing up just writing this.)

The food bank can turn a dollar’s cash donation into three dollar’s worth of food through bulk discounts and corporate matching.

If you donate only $10, that's like a $30 donation of food for a family. And $20 makes $60, and so on, and so on...

I'm an arts major; you do the math.

wow, I just spent some time catching up on your blog site. I do believe you have a gift with words. I love the photos...had to pause esp. over the J.D. photo but I did also stop at your grad photo and checked out the style of dresses behind you. You both are simply gorgeous...and so young! yikes! I look forward to seeing your Paris photos.
Love you. Helen
