The Cookie Sale

I was listening to a Christian radio station while driving Zach to school today and heard about this interesting idea for the holidays.

You can buy a tin of cookies from The Cookie Sale, and by doing so, you can help to feed at least 44 people. That's right! Buying one tin of cookies provides the funds to feed 44 people in Haiti.

Sound interesting? Check it out by clicking HERE.

This is one of the things I love about the States. There are literally hundreds of opportunities to support people living in poverty. Honestly, it can feel overwhelming at times. In Nicaragua, it sometimes felt overwhelming living and being surrounded by poverty; here, there are so many organizations, and people that want your money for a good cause (now that I think about it, I guess there isn't much difference between the two groups, only that the people here are dressed so much nicer and usually eat 3 meals a day :)
