In sticking with the theme of Liz’s guest post earlier today, I have a little challenge for you.  I think many of us can relate that our lives often seem centered around food.  Meals are a social event for most of us, not just a means of sustenance.  We gather in the kitchen, or around the table, and spend time enjoying one another.  Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky.

Erin at House of Earnest posted an admirable call to action today on her blog.  As Erin noted, we all seem to be outspoken about the things we are thankful for around Thanksgiving, but it’s easy to lose sight of those things as the year passes on.  Now there’s a way for us to be reminded of what we have and what we are thankful for, all while helping a worthy cause.

Here’s the deets…Schwan’s food company is beginning it’s “Open the Door to Thankful” campaign today in an effort to help people realize all the things we each have to be thankful for.  Schwan’s has already agreed to donate 250,000 meals to Feeding America up front.  In addition, Schwan’s invites all of us to join in by sharing what we are thankful for on the drive’s Facebook page each #thankfulthursday through October 10.  For each post, Schwan’s will donate an additional 5 meals to Feeding America.

This really is such a simple way to make a difference.  Not only will participating in this campaign help feed those who are less fortunate, it may just help you too.  A little positivity and benevolence can go a long way!

What are you thankful for today?
