I was feeling a bit of a rut, doing the same sorts of things over and over again. I asked for some suggestions from on-line friends and they came up with a host of interesting ideas.
One idea was "Donate £1 to a different charity every day for a month and blog about which charities you chose and why." And was born "Thirty Days of Charity". I did wonder about waiting until the first of July to start, but decided to just go ahead and start today.
Day 1
I am starting off with the Salvation Army Food Bank.
It is so easy to think of hunger as being an African or 'third world' problem. But there are people here too who are facing such financial hardship that they are unable to properly feed themselves, or their children.

There was a BBC article about the SA Food Bank at the end of November last year. The need has not changed.
My church is has decided to have a collecting box. People can drop off canned/long-life foods and we will pass them onto the SA Food Bank for them.
