The Random Drawing pulled up Jenna Z of http://corgipants.blogspot.com
Jenna, if you could get in touch with me at this email: giving@kclinephotography.com that would be awesome.

Thank you so much to EVERYONE who participated and to those who were STILL participating after the contest was long gone.

I will be making this an annual event from here on out.
Everyone is a winner when it comes to giving. Again, thank you to each and every one of you that were moved, donated to food drives at work, who gave up luxuries to give to others… every little bit counts when there are so many out there that do not have what we have.

Such a great idea! I just posted on my blog about my donation to the Eastern Illinois Food Bank:

I love the idea of giving up something, it shows that yes, we DO have extra money that gets spent on luxury items but could also be spent to help others! Although now, I don’t think I’ll be able to buy road snacks without thinking “What could this $7.32 buy for the food bank?” Thanks so much for the reminder of how good we have it!

Way to go Kelly and Ras and everyone else for being moved to help the less fortunate. These are hard times and it sure feels good to get a break once in awhile.

Kelly’s example has a ripple effect that reaches out to each of us and puts these people back to the front of our mind.

Dear Kelly… This is why I love you. I’m inspired! In Denmark, we don’t have food banks – I’m not sure why, but maybe our welfare system is a bit more fine-meshed..? What we have is a lot of charitable organizations, and they’re all crying out for money so that they can help the needy. Each year one of them (Børnenes Kontor) puts a chest on one of Copenhagen’s largest places called Rådhuspladsen, so that people can donate money for families in need of christmas aid. I go there every year to give what I have, and every year I stand there for a minute with my head bowed and remember that particular year when I myself got christmas aid for me and my children from Børnenes Kontor. Food, toys for the kids, snacks, spices. That experience made me humble and that is the feeling I try to hold on to every day. For it’s the humility that makes the world a better place. The humility towards the resources, both human and material. Pardon my English but I had to respond to this post ;0) It touched me, and inspired me to give something back.
