A Thrifty Way to Help the Needy

Did you know? . . . Last year, the America’s Second Harvest Network provided food assistance to more than 25 million low-income hungry people in the United States, including more than 9 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.
Right now Pampers is giving $1 to America’s Second Harvest for every ecard sent. The cards include a video and are able to be personalized. It’s really that simple. This is definitely an easy and cost friendly way to help those in need. Click here to send an ecard to help America’s Second Harvest.
That’s a neat idea!
I thought so too. I need to send some more of these cards.
Way to go Pampers! They should have plenty of money to send since they ARE the most expensive brand out there. And I should know since that is the only kind that doesn’t break out the DD
Hi Karen,
I’m not often purchasing Pampers (we don’t have children)…but here in New York, we donate to http://www.cityharvest.org.
And when I check-out at our local King’s supermarket, I have an opportunity to donate to New Jersey food banks (courtesy of Mr. Bruce Springsteen).
Timely post! I’m doing a series on Family volunteering on my website, Family Time. It’d be great if some of the millions I’ve spent on Pampers would be passed along to those who hunger.
