Helping the Hungry: Mindful Mondays and Brewhaha

After a long and glorious birthday weekend full of fun, festivities and gluttony (more details on that later!) I'm still basking in feelings of happiness, love and downright good luck.

I'm so lucky to be able to eat fabulous food not only on special ocassions, but every single day of my life, and it really saddens me that so many people struggle with feeding themselves and their families. Hunger is a cause I am passionate about and I try to help others as much as possible.

What can YOU do to help? One way is to take advantage of Mindful Mondays. It's a Chagrin Falls based initiative formed by the Chagrin Valley Council of Churches to help those struggling with hunger. The concept is simple: you choose one of the participating restaurants for your Monday dinner, bring a coupon with you, and 10% of your check is donated to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. How easy is that?
