A friend of mine from back in High School dropped me a note today about a fundraiser she’s come up with that I think is worth people taking notice of. Instead of trying to explain it all I’ll let you check out her website and see what’s up. Here are a couple excerpts to give you an idea of what’s going on.
From her site Rice, Beans & Mixed Greens:
…Hi, my name is Maria and I’m about to live for 30 days on $30 worth of food. I’m doing this primarily to raise money for Blandford Nature Center and Mixed Greens, but I also hope to raise awareness about the limited diet available to people living on a low income…You may be wondering why any human being would voluntarily live under these types of restrictions for a month. Aside from the fact that I enjoy being contrary, I really support the work that Blandford Nature Center and Mixed Greens is doing to make sure that urban kids have access to local, healthy food and the local ecology…
