Root Cellars Rock and the Food Security Network NL both contributed recipes to this creative fundraising initiative and we want to spread the word. Keep the Cookbook CD for yourself or share it as a gift that keeps on giving! Check out more details below and on The Ffeed Project website.
“Dine on Purpose” Charity Cookbook CD, Let’s Go Local Edition – St John’s, NL
What: The cookbook CD has a wonderful selection of 55 recipes from local Chefs, Restaurants, Bakeries and Food Producers, complemented by a cover and section dividers comprised of photo collages of St. John’s.
How: For every $20 donation given to an organization that feeds the hungry, between Dec 1-15 2011, you can get a cookbook CD (while supplies last). It is your choice which charity feeding the hungry you donate to. Email a copy of your donation tax receipt to claim your CDs. The quantity of Cookbook CDs is limited, so we are encouraging people to donate early and send a copy of their tax receipt by email to reserve their copies in advance. Send your CD request & copy of your tax receipt to theffeedproject@nl.rogers.
