Charity Drive Challenge: Midlodemocrat will donate $100 for every $1000 donated to Second Harvest!

[Skinner]

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO INCREASE YOUR DONATION BY 10%!

DU member Midlodemocrat has made an extremely generous challenge to the members of DU in support of the DU Year-end Charity Donation Drive. She has pledged to donate $100 to America's Second Harvest for every $1,000 donated by the members of Democratic Underground, up to a maximum challenge donation of $1,500!

It's like every dollar you donate to America's Second Harvest will be worth $1.10! Make sure you donate soon to take advantage of this challenge... because this challenge ends when DUers raise $15,000.

YOU MUST CLICK ON THIS LINK BEFORE YOU DONATE IF YOU WANT YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE 10% MATCH:

10. Damn and I hate being poor...

Thank you Milodemocrat.. without people like you, people like me would have no chance. I have a big heart myself, but no money to donate. I am glad that DU is doing this and I like seeing the generosity of the people here on this website.

It always brings tears to my eyes.

13. This is a great idea for the holidays

Give someone the gift of a donation in their name. I just donated $20. It is not much but I hope it helps. There is some great information on the website.

The America's Second Harvest Network supplies nearly two billion pounds of food and grocery products annually.

486 million pounds from national product donors
494 million pounds from US Government programs
843 million pounds from local product donors
198 million pounds from purchase
