I volunteer at a shelter and food pantry a few days a month and I've noticed that there are lots of donations this time of year (which are really REALLY appreciated) but that after Christmas the donations fall off dramatically. Those shelves can get almost barren at times. It would be nice to remember that these pantries are truly needful year-round -- especially for fresh/frozen foods.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
