Hello and Welcome to the 2009 Green Bean Challenge, a benefit for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. Today is October 23, 2009 and it is time to get this challenge started. Chances are, if this is your first visit to this website, you have probably recieved a letter or e-mail asking for a donation to be used as a prize. Or possibly a strange and wayward can of green beans has found its way onto your desk. This is the site that explains it all!
Please notice the links to the left side of the blog. These links are there to help you navigate the many posts. I especially like the ones labeled Frequently Asked Questions and How to Help, although Explaining the Challenge really comes in handy, too. Foodbanks across the country are suffering this year, as the number of unemployed people and the outcry for help continues to rise. This is the year to make your effort count! Hopefully together we can double the amount from last year to two tons (or even more?) of food for our local neighbors who are struggling so much during this recession.
I truly, absolutely, hope to hear from you soon!
