Cans for Comments {25 Days Link Up}


Nugget On A Budget

I saw this wonderful fund raising idea on my friend Kera's (Nugget on a Budget) blog. I have a hard time passing up an opportunity to help others. 

So, I'm going to do a one day participation. 

What is Cans for Comments?
Cans For Comments is a fundraiser to help support our local food banks during the high-need holiday and winter season. My job as a participant is to donate specific items based on how many comments and/or new followers I receive during the event's run time (which for me will be TODAY ONLY).

Kera is co-hosting and I would encourage you to check out her Cans for Comments post where you can find the link up. Go visit all the participants' blogs and comment or follow along. It's so simple and it's for a great cause!

What am I donating?
Every 5 comments = 1 can of food
Every new follower (GFC, Twitter, or Facebook) = 1 can of food
Every person who links up to the 25 Days of Christmas = 1 can of food

Where will I donate these items?
I will donate the cans of food to my church's food bank.

If you follow, please leave a comment and let me know where you're following. I won't count it if you don't tell me. So, by following and commenting about it, you're helping out double!

I also encourage you to spread the word. If you're tweeting use hashtag #cans4comments.

So, let's do something positive with our social media interactions. Comment, follow, link up, and spread the word!

You can also link up any Christmas related post today for the 25 Days of Christmas.
This link up only has ONE rule:
1. Please link back to my blog in your post.
