Menu for Hope [ENDED]

OK, technically this is not a giveaway. But for a mere $10 donation to Menu for Hope, you get to:

• give to a most worthy cause: the United Nations World Food Programme’s school lunch program in Lesotho
• earn a chance on any of dozens of insanely great food-related prizes donated by food bloggers and businesses
• be a part of the hottest and most successful online fundraiser since… never
• help Menu for Hope V top last year’s raised amount of over $90K

It’s even better than a giveaway, because even if you don’t win, you win.

Of course, you’re encouraged to give as much as you can, and in return you’ll get more virtual raffle tickets to bid on whatever prize(s) you like. Some of my favorites are:

• set of 3 autographed cookbooks from Dorie Greenspan
• the Big, Bad Baker’s Bundle from Miss Ginsu
• set of reusable grocery bags from Smitten Kitchen
• paella kit from Andrea’s Recipes
• set of Lowel EGO photo lights from Kalyn’s Kitchen
• 52 bars of Swiss chocolate from Just Hungry

Of course these dishes are just a small sampling from the full Menu, which can be perused Chez Pim, the organizer of this spectacular event.

But in the end it’s not really about the prizes, is it? Be generous!

Deadline: 12/24/08
