COME TOGETHER with Macy's and Feed the Hungry
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Leave a Comment

One of the things I am most thankful for all year round is that the Lord has provided my husband with good health and a job that provides us with a salary, where buying groceries is never a struggle.
During this time of the year when the holiday's are approaching and food and festivities seem to be in sheer abundance for some of us, I am acutely aware that this is not the case for everyone. Much of what I see in the places that I partake food at gets wasted; and at the same time many families go to bed hungry at night.
Macy's is taking up the cause to help feed 10 million people suffering from hunger. The number seems large, but if we all do our part the effect will be profound.
COME TOGETHER invites the public to rally around the cause by hosting special dinners in their homes and asking their guests to pledge a donation to Feeding America. In return, Macy's will match these donations dollar-for-dollar until the total goal of 10 million meals is reached.
Perhaps that isn't an option for you and your family though. Macy's has other ways for you to get involved also.
Rather than Host an event, stop by a Macy's in your city, you can Give at the checkout. As little as a $1.00 donation will provide dinner for 7 people.
If you're a Shopper, this Saturday, October 17th, Macy's will host a "Shop for a Cause" day. For $5.00 you can purchase an in store ticket for special savings on purchases. A portion of that ticket price will benefit Feeding America.
Macy's is giving one of my reader's the chance to win a $20.00 Macy's gift card for helping the hungry and spreading the word about COME TOGETHER.
To enter this giveaway, leave a comment letting me know what you could give up to donate at least $1.00 to feed 7 people dinner.
For instance, I can give up buying a package of cookies for my family which would free up $3.00 which will feed 21 people dinner!
For extra entries (these are little different this time folks, it's all about COME TOGETHER and feeding families, and not about my blog) you can:
1. Tweet about Come Together *2 entries - let people know they can feed 7 people dinner for $1.00 (leave the link to your tweet)
2. Share on another networking site *2 entries for each site you share it on - Facebook, Digg, Stumble whatever you're a part of, again let your friends and social communities know how they can partner with Macy's to help feed the hungry. (leave a link to where you shared)
3. Blog about it - *5 entries - share the way people can help partner with Macy's by Hosting, Giving or Shopping (leave the link to your blog post)
This giveaway will end on November 1, 2009 at 11:59 pm cst and is open to U.S. Residents ages 18+. The winner will be chosen by random.org and will be e-mailed. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the e-mail or an alternate winner will be chosen. By entering this giveaway you are stating that you have read my **About Reviews and my Privacy/Rules statements and agree to them.
I received no compensation from Macy's to share about their COME TOGETHER campaign.

I would give up my pretzels and popcorn, which would come up to a tidy sum. It is a great question - makes you really think about what you would do without when others do nit even have a choice and have to do without even the basics.
