This year, Eat Boutique is participating in the Menu for Hope 6 campaign, an annual event hosted by Chez Pim and a rotating group of food bloggers to raise money for the UN World Food Programme that helps to feed hungry people worldwide. This year’s chosen initiative is Purchase for Progress (P4P). P4P enables smallholder and low-income farmers to supply food to WFP’s global operation.
We’re all about farmers on Eat Boutique so didn’t hesitate to help this great cause. Eat Boutique is donating a New England gift box and hope you donate often to win this gorgeous recycled gift box filled with locally-made food items, items still made in small batches (like Taza chocolate, Q’s roasted nuts, Lark rosemary shortbread and spicy ginger cookies, New Hampshire fudge and a luscious jar of Silverbrook Farm pear ginger jam).
To donate and enter the Menu for Hope Raffle, here’s what you need to do:
1. Choose a bid item(s) of your choice from our Menu for Hope main bid item list (to be up soon!). Until then, take a peek at the list of
bid items from our East Coast hostess Tartlette. I’m on the list there, my bid item code is
UE04.
2. Go to the donation site at
Firstgiving and make a donation. Please specify which bid item you’d like in the ‘Personal Message’ section in the donation form when confirming your donation. You must write-in how many tickets per bid item, and please use the bid item code. Each $10 you donate will give you one raffle ticket toward a bid item of your choice. The more you donate, the more chances to get the item(s) you want.
3. If your company matches your charity donation, please check the box and fill in the information so we could claim the corporate match.
4. Please check the box to allow us to see your email address so that we can contact you in case you win. Your email address will not be shared with anyone.
5. Check back on
Chez Pim on Monday, January 18 for the results of the raffle.
