Menu For Hope

This is important.

It's that time of year again, when food bloggers from all over the world join together, taking leave from our usual frivolity. Throughout the year, we celebrate food as a source of joy, but for two weeks every December, we ask you, our readers, to help us support those who are not so lucky, to whom food is not a mere indulgence but a matter of survival. This Menu for Hope is our small way to help. Please join us.

Pim has organized a fourth Menu For Hope raffle to raise money for those in need around the globe. This year all proceeds go to a community School Lunch Program for the children in Lesotho, Africa, via the UN World Food Program.

It couldn't be easier to participate!

A mere $10 raffle ticket purchased between December 10-24 will give you the chance to win one of these fabulous prizes that Bloggers from around the globe have donated.
Prizes such as serious kitchen equipment, cooking classes in Italy, once in a lifetime experiences, food tours, delicious and memorable meals, relaxing getaways, books, gourmet goodies, and the list goes on and on...

Remember, it's only $10!
