One Meal One Day


I’m skipping a meal on November 6th and invite you to skip it with me! It’s all part of an event called One Meal One Day – a nationwide initiative of Compassion International to help meet the urgent nutritional needs of children in extreme poverty. The idea is to skip one meal and then donate the money that you would have spent on that meal to Compassion. 
I am also fundraising, with a goal to raise $100 before November 6th.  All donations will help children registered in Compassion’s programs whose extraordinary needs exceed the capacity of Compassion’s regular activities.
 
Please, join me in participating in One Meal One Day. Anyone can help raise awareness and fundraise – even if they choose not to skip the meal. To make a donation, make checks payable to “Compassion International” with “OMOD” in the memo line and mail them to me (email me at ca85@yahoo.com for my address).  Otherwise you can give on the online fundraising site (link listed below).  If you would like more information about One Meal One Day, feel free to contact me or visit onemealoneday.org.
Click here to donate today! 
Also as an added incentive, I'm going to do a contest for all those who donate on my online fundraising site (see the link above) or that send me a check for this.  I'll put names in a hat and do a drawing for your choice of a handmade scarf, a bracelet, or a necklace (I can text pictures to whomever wins to make the choice from).  So far I only have one entrant so your chances are pretty good.  Help make this a competition by donating today.  
Thanks!
