Not to long ago, when I was promoting the Food Lion Giveaway, one of my Facebook friends asked about the possibility of donating the gift card to a charitable organization. Well, I had already started the giveaway campaign on my blog, so unfortunately although a great idea, it was a foregone conclusion.
So, with that in mind, I’d like to ask you if you have a favorite non-profit that you think would be able to do the most good with a $125 Food Lion gift card. Nominate them in the comments below (please include a URL). I’ll contact the organization, “vet” them (make sure they are a standard non-profit that would be able to use the funds, and learn about their mission so I can share it with you), and then I’ll open up a poll so readers can vote for the organization that they want to win.
The nominated non-profit with the most votes will receive the $125 Food Lion gift card!
All official entries must be made in the comment sections on THIS blog, include a URL to their website, and must be a 501(c) non-profit organization. Additionally, they must be in the state of North Carolina. Entries are due by Friday, October 19th! Only one entry per reader.
Let’s start giving!
Dilworth Soup Kitchen!
