Help feed a family for Thanksgiving

Search and earn $ for A Day of Hope
It's a user generated site affiliated with Yahoo where you can search and earn money for charity.
You're going to search anyway, so why not earn some money for charity while you do it.
How we were started.
This is the story how A Day of Hope was started.
A Day of Hope was started by college student reading a book about a young man receiving a Thanksgiving basket when his family did not have the money to purchase food for Thanksgiving.As a result that young man's life was changed forever. He then dedicated every waking hour to helping other people to live a life of enjoyment and fullfillment.
So this college student, after reading this asked, "If I could not just deliver one basket, what would happen if I could deliver 30 baskets?"
And then it was off, he started by making phone calls to local churches and charties out of his small apartment bedroom to search out and find people who wanted to get involved.
A powerful story
A recent visitor to this lens emailed me this story
I just went and signed and voted for one of your lenses, unfortunaely not all that i wrote appeared, so would like to share it ...when we first came to the U.S. in 1950 we had nothing and every Thanksgiving and Christmas for several years we got food baskets from a local church, I will never forget this. Now through my husbands Veterans organization we donate food to the local pantry or make baskets for those in need. I am proud to be an American, this is the most generous country in the world...Thank You for what you do...
God Bless You,

Donald

I love-love-love what you're doing here. My husband and I have been "adopting" people at Thanksgiving for the past several years and delivering "care packages". It's been one of life's greatest blessings. Posted September 08, 2008 |

So heartwarming. When I was 22,(so many years ago) I had two small children, couldn't pay my electric bill, had no money for Christmas, and literally no food. My children and I had popcorn for dinner that day. It was Christmas Eve, and the electric company pulled up to my door. My heart sank, why did they have to disconnect my electricity on Christmas Eve? Why couldn't they wait until the day after Christmas? I heard the dreaded knock on my door, and when I opened it, three men stood there with large boxes of food. "This is for you", they said, "Merry Christmas". They set the boxes down and then brought in boxes of clothes and toys. I just stood there in awe. These 3 wise men became angels to me to me that day. They also informed me that my electric bill was paid in full. Posted September 02, 2008 |

This is a great lens. I personally know of people that go hungry off and on throughout the year. One more tip: Watch out for those around you...listen to the kids...find those that may need a boost of food every now and then. And, when you do, buy them some groceries! Let's make it a year round project to help the hungry. Posted February 17, 2008 |
