Wanted to share this note from Jessie at Cupcake Royale in The Junction – will be posting about it on the hp later:
>>I was hoping you could let blog readers know about our food drive on Monday. In light of how severely food banks are being hit by the current economy, we can think of no better way to celebrate our birthday than by collecting gifts for those who need it most. We’re having a food drive in all three of our locations to benefit a local food bank in each neighborhood. In West Seattle, our bins will benefit the West Seattle Food Bank. The bins will be up through December 24th, but on Monday, Dec 8th – our actual birthday, anyone who comes in with a gift for the food bank gets a free birthday cupcake. As we turn five, we want to get all of our friends and neighbors together to give back to the community we’re so proud to call home! Please help us collect as much food as possible for the West Seattle Food Bank!<<
