Friday Finds: Hunger Action Month + A Giveaway
You might remember that September is Hunger Action Month.
You may also remember that I was participating in a #BlogMob event at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank with The Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project and other local bloggers.
In the spirit of Hunger Action Month, I wanted to share a few related links.
