Where’s the Salt?

Pim over at Chez Pim is hosting the 3rd Menu for Hope, where food bloggers from all over the world get together for a fundraising campaign. This year, it’s in aid of the UN World Food Programme, a cause close to my heart, for both professional and personal reasons.

A multitude of amazing foodie prizes are up for grabs: Food experiences in cities allover the world, cookery books, wonderful wines, heavenly hampers are just some of the items being raffled off. As Pim says

The rule is pretty easy. For every US$10 you donate, you may claim one raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. The more you give, the better your chance to win. The campaign is scheduled to run from now until Friday 22nd, 6PM PST. So get a move on!

At this time of year, many of us are busy planning Christmas menus and the best gifts for our loved ones. Unfortunately, not all. By buying some tickets, you will be in with the chance of winning some great gifts and hopefully do something small to help.

Here are the prizes on offer, according to region in the world

US West Coast: Becks and Posh
US East Coast: The Amateur Gourmet
US (the rest): Kalyn’s Kitchen
Canada: Cardamom Addict
Europe and UK: Davidlebovitz.com 
Asia Pacific/Australia/New Zealand: Grab Your Fork

And last but not least, our special wine blog host: Vinography

And here’s how to donate:

1. Choose a prize or prizes of your choice from our Menu for Hope.

2. Go to the donation site at http://www.firstgiving.com/menuforhopeIII and make a donation.

3. Each $10 you donate will give you one raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. Please specify which prize you’d like in the ‘Personal Message’ section in the donation form when confirming your donation. You must write-in how many tickets per prize, and please use the prize code—for example, a donation of $50 can be 2 tickets for EU01 and 3 for EU02. (Please use the double-digits, not EU1, but EU01.)
