for while sitting at the table eating our delicious Thanksgiving feast. There are 1 billion people who can't enjoy a fabulous meal and say what they are thankful for because they are literally starving. 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. Nick, aka The Peanut Butter Boy decided to do something about this to help feed the hungry.
For every comment you leave on his post, he will donate a nickel to The Hunger Site. You can also help by visiting The Hunger Site and clicking. It costs you nothing and by simply clicking once a day, every day, you are giving the equivalent of 1.1 cups of food to starving people. There are other foodies who are helping to feed the hungry and to raise awareness. There is a Feeding the Hungry lens on Squidoo and Life by Chocolate is also donating a nickel for every comment.What are you thankful for? I'm thankful for my family--my daughters and my grandchildren. I'm also very, very thankful that we are able
to buy food. There was a time when my children were just babies (Jennifer was 2 years old and Jaime was 6 months old), and we were homeless and had no food. We were fortunate to find a community outreach program that provided shelter for us and gave us food from the food bank to tide us over until I got back on my feet. It was an experience I will never forget.
I'm joining with Nick's efforts and the other
wonderful bloggers who are taking action to help feed the hungry. For every comment on this post, I will also donate a nickel to The Hunger Site and I will click to give free food every day to help provide food for starving people. (I've added the button to my sidebar.) I know a nickel doesn't sound like much, but those nickels really add up. Please join me. Together, we can help prevent 24,000 deaths every day from hunger and we can help the 1 billion people who are hungry or malnourished to be thankful for the food that we can help to put on their table.

First one! I am thankful for not only the ability to go to a store and choose from any kind of food imaginable, but also for being able to drive a car there to carry the groceries home and be able to cook in a kitchen with heat and electricity, followed by blogging about it to the rest of the world with an electronic typing machine that can fit on my lap. We are truly privileged.
Gloria...Among many other things, I'm thankful that there are bloggers like you who take us away from our narcissistic activity and make us stop and think, if only for a moment. Our personal economies may have changed and our belts may have tightened, but as "peanut butter boy' said 'we are truly privileged.
Oh sweetie, I'm so proud of you. I've knew from the moment you and I started corresponding that you have a heart of gold. While I can't afford to pay even a nickle right now, I can click all you want me to. But I am grateful for a roof over my head and enough coffee to last out the week. I even have a secret stash of chocolate that I won't touch unless it's an emergency. :) My nightly prayers are for the homeless, the hungry and the ill and the sad. So, you have my clicks and my prayers. Hugs.
Thank you for doing this and reminding us to be thankful for what we have! You have a beautiful heart!
This is great. I'm glad I participated. I'm thankful for the opportunity to help other people. In the future. Life by Chocolate will start donating to shelters. I'm glad we can do this now to help out.
Thank you for joining in and helping to raise awareness about this really serious issue. I did a squidoo lens about it which is donating to Action For Hunger.
Gloria, dear one. Here's another post for your journey. I continue to be grateful for life, love, and hope. Hugs.
