Cowboy kenny 50799 Report post Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks to everyone for supporting my recent twitter campaign "Followers for Food" which ended yesterday. From Ocotber 4 to November 4 I pledged to donate $10 for every new follower to my twitter feed @cowboykenny. Followers to my twitter feed are alerted first when new posts go up and from time to time I share pearls of wisdom and chuckles through out the day. I'm happy to say that I have 26 new followers which amounts to a 260 dollar donation to the Ottawa Food Bank, the equivalent of 50 spaghetti dinners and 30 after school snacks or 8 cases of eggs. In fact because of the buying power the food bank has along with the support of corporate sponsors each dollar dollar donated has the equivalent of 5 dollars, so the $260 donation actually amounts to $ 1300 of nutritious food for Ottawa families , singles and seniors in need. This campaign could not have been any more timelier given this story that came out today but was lost amongst all the hub bub of political scandal; More than 800,000 Canadians still relying on food banks, study shows http://www.ottawacitizen.com/business/More+than+Canadians+still+relying+food+banks+study+shows/9124788/story.html Thanks again for helping me help others. 18 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
