And it won't even cost you a cent.

This must be part of that new math my Grade 10 Science teacher kept going on about all those years ago but frankly, I don't care because it's all for a good cause.

Via the ever fabulous Raincoaster, I caught wind that one little comment = 100 lbs of food:

Go to this post, read it and leave a comment and Tyson Foods will donate 100 lbs of food to the food bank for each comment received. No strings, no coupons, no mailing lists.

Easy eh? So what are you waiting for? Get over there already!

When I started working with my current employer, now going on nearly four years, there was an envelope in my drawer full of old stamps. I wasn't quite sure why they were there, that part of the job was never explained, but I did continue in the tradition of cutting the stamps off of the mail envelopes. At some point, the envelope started to budge and I was left to figure out why they were being saved in the first place.

After doing a little research online, I came across Oxfam Canada's "Stamp Out Hunger" project. Essentially, the group collects used stamps and envelopes to raise money for special projects. Earlier this month I sent them my third batch of stamps and in return, they sent me a letter explaining the details of the project, how it works and how exactly to collect your stamps so that they fetch the biggest dollars:


If you work in an office where you get a lot of mail, amassing a big pile of stamps happens quite quickly but even if you're at home, it's easy enough to take a moment to cut them out. It only takes a minute to help someone and I must say, every time I've sent off a little package I feel a little moment of glee knowing I did something nice for someone else.

It only takes a minute and a few old stamps to make a difference!
