Giftmas Blog Tour 2017 Supports the Edmonton Food Bank

When I was a kid money was tight--especially during the time my mom was a single mother of three--but the food bank was there to help make ends meet. We were lucky in that we didn't need to use it regularly, but every year we received a 'Christmas hamper' and they really made the holidays shine. There was always a big turkey, for starters, and then the rest of the contents were like an amazing surprise bag of food. I still remember the excitement I felt pulling things out of the box with my mom and either cheering or groaning. "Yay! Candy!" or "Eww... escargot? Who eats snails?" (Give me a break, I was a kid).

These days I'm in a much better position financially, but that's not true of everyone. In fact, more families than ever need help from the food bank to make their holidays awesome so I'm dedicating my annual Giftmas Blog Tour to collecting donations for the Edmonton Food Bank.

Last year we raised $521 and this year I'd like to beat that, so the goal is $522. Please help.
