San Diego Food Bloggers Unite!! A Fund for Jennie

On August 12^th, seemed like the whole food blogging world was making a peanut butter pie in support of fellow blogger Jennie Perillo and her two young daughters who had lost their husband/father suddenly. As if it wasn't hard enough to deal with the loss of your partner, Jennie is having to deal with the other realities of life such as health insurance, the mortgage, and just day to day life trying to raise her girls.

So again the food bloggers unite to help Jennie out. Bloggers Without Borders is a non-profit organization that was created to raise awareness for certain issues in our communities and to spread the word via the food blogging community. Read more about Bloggers Without Borders

BWoB’s latest project: A Fund for Jennie 

Food bloggers throughout the country have organized auctions for their readers to bid on. Items include anything from baked goods to stacks of cookbooks to the blogger actually coming to your home to teach you how to cook or host a dinner party.




 

What I'm doing about it

I got an email from Marie of Meandering Eats a few days ago asking fellow San Diego Food Bloggers to help put together a basket to auction. Yup....I'm in!!

What you can do

1) Bid on our super awesome San Diego themed basket! Visit Marie's blog, Meandering Eats to check out what's up for auction. If you are interested in bidding, please leave a comment at the bottom of the post (Marie's post, not mine...you won't get anything for bidding on my page silly!) Be sure to include your email address so we can contact you if your bid wins. The auction ends on September 2 at 12:59pm, PST.  

Btw, I contributed San Diego's own Sam the Cooking Guy's newest cookbook, Just Grill This!....which I want one for myself now. The only way to pry this cookbook away from my hands is to bid. So what are you waiting for?!

2) Visit the auction page on the Bloggers Without Borders website. They are updating the site with blogs that are holding auctions. There are so many great items but a lot of the auctions will be ending soon so hurry!

3) If you are like me and the millions of people who cannot afford to bid but you would like to still contribute something, please follow the link Donate: A Fund for Jennie to make a donation for any denomination. All funds being donated at this time will be going towards A Fund for Jennie.

A huge thank you to all of you who donate or bid on the SD Food Bloggers basket! Have a great weekend!
