I’m easing my way back into this blog and back to the commitment I started earlier this year of finding a life-long community service cause. One of the challenges of keeping this commitment is finding different service organizations for which I can volunteer on a one-time basis. I am working on lining up some fall projects, though.
I prefer hands-on service, but of course, there are countless ways to give back to thousands of organizations and hundreds of causes each day. In fact, anyone can support the fight against hunger this week simply by eating at a restaurant that is participating in Share Our Strength’s “Great American Dine Out.” On the website’s homepage, you can enter your zip code to find a participating restaurant near you. More than 5,000 restaurants in all 50 states are donating to Share Our Strength’s effort to bring nutritious foods to needy kids.
Note for Raleigh, North Carolina residents: There are 75 restaurants in the area supporting the Great American Dine Out, a week-long event that continues through this Saturday (September 26th). If you plan to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner at a restaurant over the next three days, why not check the list and make your meal count?
Bruegger’s Bagel Bakery appears to be a big supporter so I’ll be picking up my bagel and caffeine fix there tomorrow morning.
