Thank you all for visiting today and being a part of this link up.  I do not do normally do this kind of thing.  I should, they are popular and I for one certainly like to visit sites that have them.  I have gotten lots of great recipes from posts like that.

But the reason for this link up is different.  I am compiling recipes and tips to help gather information for a local group of parents who really need help.  Parents who are having a hard time finding resources.  Parents that need help.  Read more about 2 of these parents here.

All of these posts will be added to this Pinterest board.  Please follow this if you can and if you are really feeling charitable-pin this particular post as well:)

For every post that is shared, my family and I will donate ONE POUND of food to my area food pantry. To make this even better Conagra has generously offered to match my donation with one of their own to Gleaners Food Bank!

Please link up your favorite budget and/or freezer meal BLOG post

Please share this post with your friends so we can help as many people as we can!

Please link back to this post in your linked post.

The link up will remain open until Saturday October 20, 2012.  These posts will be shared in my newspaper column, in my social media, on my radio show  and with a parent group I am speaking to in January!

Thank you in advance for sharing your post here today! I hope I can donate a LOT of food!

Thank you Verizon for helping to make producing this post so much easier. I was able to type all of this into a blog post today while sitting at a swim meet on my XYBoard! Thank you #VZWSG
