Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
September is Hunger Action Month. I am honored to join over 30 other bloggers to create this cookbook full of healthy and affordable slow cooker dinner recipes.
46 million people in the United States deal with hunger issues. Of those people, 12 million are children and 7 million are seniors.
All of the proceeds from the print copy of this cookbook is going to support the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida!
Feeding America food banks from across the country are giving the ebook version as a free gift to their donors. If you make a donation you will be given the ebook as a free gift.

Great recipe, great cause!

I thank you for your participation, but I cannot enter from your website widget as I do not do Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. I am one of those seniors in central Florida who will benefit from the cookbook, but most of we seniors do not like or participate in social media. I help my neighbors with computer issues they have because many do not own a computer or are not very literate, but I know most really hate social media. I thought you should know. We don’t feel it is safe.
I’m sorry, Barabara. I’ll be sure to include a non social media entry option for my future giveaways. Thanks for your feedback.
