Great Blog, good to see yours and so many on this subject at the same time.

I would like to add “shop local”.
We all have family owned businesses in our neighborhoods that will need our support even more in the coming months.

Congratulation on making it into the 37 blogs google features on this subject – not sure how they select, but you made the cut. Mine is just s teensy weensy personal blog, but they all add up and you obviously have clout as yours was on the front page of the Google blogs!

Donate blood! If you’re a healthy adult, it’s easy to do and not that traumatic. Staff will help you get over your fear of the needle. And rules have changed; for a while I couldn’t donate because I take Dilantin to control seizures. The blood bank didn’t receive gallons of my blood because I thought that rule was carved in stone, and it never occurred to me to check. (BTW, I just made my first two small loans via Kiva on Sunday.)

Great post. Short and simple and actually uplifting. Not the first of the Blog Action Day posts I’ve read today, but definitely the first that resonates for me.

I’m in total agreement that fighting poverty doesn’t have to be a grim assignment. I suggest that if you are fortunate enough to have space for a garden you share. your excess harvest with a local food bank. Few things are more joyous than gardening and gardeners are always sharing.
