While I promised not to trash talk, thanks to an incredibly generous donation earlier today ($5,000!!!), I am comfortable claiming that I have stormed into the lead of the Battle of the Blogs to help the FreeStore and the families it serves. My total is now about $5,300.
Thanks to all those who have given (through any blog), but particularly the incredibly generous donor(s) who gave this morning.
UPDATE: A story on Channel 5 this morning reported that 7,661 people stood in the cold and rain for emergency food at the FreeStore yesterday--a record, and a 19% increase over 2007: http://www.wlwt.com/news/18052859/detail.html?treets=cin&tml=cin_7am&ts=T&tmi=cin_7am_-1_06000211252008
Again, to give to the Free Store Foodbank, and take part in the Battle of the Blogs, do the following:
1) Go to the virtual store, and make your purchases: (takes 3 minutes)http://vad.aidmatrix.org/vadxml.cfm?driveid=3180
2) Comment below, however you wish, on the amount you gave (I won't list names, but will keep track of the tally).

I call foul!
I call foul, too! You're doing the Clinton machine and the rest of us are doing the Obama thing. Now, I know you were a Clinton supporter - but foul, foul, foul! (LOLOL)
Dean - I think we should be tracking number of donations as well as amount of donations.
What can I say? I put out the word, and someone felt compelled to give generously. We should all be celebrating!
Does this generous donor live in Wyoming?
I will not be celebrating; I will work tirelessly to defeat you!
In fact, I've already got word that someone may wish to defeat you on my behalf.
Game on!
Thansk for the opportunity, David. I gave $50.00.

The donor does not in Wyoming. And the donor is not related to me.
Glad you cleared that up - we all thought it was Mom. lol. So Uncle Chesley put on his St. Nick suit? Anyway - it's great no matter what. Let's see if the GOP can match THAT!!!
I am happy to hear about the honest competition. NO matter who donates - our foodbank wins.
$63.37
