Eating for the community good
Today is one of those good days in the newsroom. (Good having nothing to do with journalism.) We are having a small bake sale to raise money for Urban Ministry.
As designer Jennifer Burton, who organizes the fund-raiser, wrote:
On an average day at the Greensboro Urban Ministry:
* 150 people registered in the Emergency Assistance Program
* 26 emergency food orders filled from the Food Bank
* 332 people fed a hot meal at Potter's House Community Kitchen
We don't even have to leave the building to get home-baked sweets. And if there's anything we like better than eating, it's eating and raising money at the same time.
Update: We also had one of our in-house auctions yesterday in which we sell all the free stuff companies send us for promotions. We raised $1,023 for charity. That makes about $3,000 this year!
