Did you know that one in six Cook County residents aren’t sure where they’ll find their next meal? Did you know the Greater Chicago Food Depository, Chicago’s Food Bank, distributed 66 million pounds of food to needy Cook County residents last year?
This is our opportunity to help.
Beginning today through September 30, 2013, I’m sponsoring the HUNGER BITES Virtual Food Drive to raise money for the GCFD. Donations can range from $3.15, which will buy a gallon of milk, to as high as you’d like to go!
I’ll match every dollar donated, up to $2,500.
Everyone who donates will be entered to win one of two Advanced Readers Copy of WILD THINGS plus, of course, other Chicagoland Vampires swag.
And then there’s the Grand Prize . . . One random participate in the food drive will get to name a character in BLOOD GAMES, the tenth Chicagoland Vampires novel.*
Just click on the logo above to visit the Hunger Bites Virtual Food Drive donation page!
Thank you so much for your generosity! Because of you, someone will eat today.
xoxo, Chloe
* – And here’s the disclaimer: I get to select the character (i.e., human, vampire, etc.), but I’ll offer options if I can. The selected name must be reasonable and unoffensive. It cannot replicate a character in the Chicagoland Vampires novels or other published novels, movie stars, etc., and it cannot be a phrase. (As much as I love them, I’m not naming anyone RoseandDimitriRule!) I reserve the right to refuse any name which is inappropriate, illegal, or offensive.
Chloe, I truly appreciate the efforts to help with the residents of Cook County who go hungry, especially during this time when the temperatures change and things become cold.
Initially I wasn’t going to donate, because like some of the people who will benefit from this drive, I don’t have alot of money. But after consideration, I donated and I am commenting to let you know that your books bring joy to people in many ways and we are grateful for it.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much, Cassandra! I appreciate your generous spirit!
Hi Chloe,
Just made a donation, wish it could have been for more but I am currently working through my severence notice at work so money is a bit of an issue at this time.
I think it is great what you are doing here with this food drive.
Absolutely love the Chicagoland Vampire world, as does my wife, it is one of our favourite book series.
Hoping I may be the lucky guy who wins a place in your book, Can’t you just see a character named Mr. Nice? LOL.
Thank you for so many hours of happy exciting reading.
Regards,
Mark 🙂
