Just for $10, you can feed a hungry child (for over a month), and, if you're in luck, you might even win one of our cool foodie prizes: dinner vouchers at Michelin-star restaurants around the world, signed cookbooks from famous authors, and special culinary agenda you just have to check out when our campaign launches on Monday December 15th.
Menu for Hope is an annual raffle in support of the UN World Food Programme, with fabulous prizes from food bloggers, food lovers, restaurateurs, and chefs from around the world. In 2007, Menu for Hope raised over $90,000 for the WFP.
Here is how it works. You donate $10, we give you a virtual raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. Try your luck at lunch with Harold McGee, or a dinner at Michelin-2-star Manresa, or many other amazing foodie prizes from food bloggers around the world. The more you give, the better chance to win.
Our beneficiary, the World Food Programme, is the world’s largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good.
Funds from this year's Menu for Hope will again go specifically to support the school feeding program in Lesotho. We chose to back this particular program, not only because providing food at schools help the kids, particularly girls, stay in school, but also because the WFP is making a concerted effort in Lesotho to source food from local farmers practicing conservation farming methods. We feed the kids and support their parents farming. What's not to like in this?
Menu for Hope 5 will run for two weeks, from December 15 through the holidays.
Go to http://chezpim.com on December 15 to check out the prizes, or to http://firstgiving.com/menuforhope5 directly to donate.
