Hi folks, thanks to Laurie for letting us know about Post Foods “Bowls of Hope” program. Post Foods, in partnership with Feeding America, will donate up to 15 million balanced breakfasts to struggling Americans. For each purchase of a specially-marked cereal — including Post Shredded Wheat Original, Post Shredded Wheat Spoon Size Original, Post Shredded Wheat and Bran, Post Shredded Wheat Lightly Frosted, and Post Shredded Wheat Honey Nut — Post Foods will donate one balanced breakfast.

For each can of food you donate you get $1 off the price of admission. The limit is $3, but hey, why not bring even more cans for this great cause. It’s in support of the Hawaii Food Bank’s Annual Food Drive. This special applies to both regular and kama’aina rates for both adults and children. We’ve got an annual membership to the museum but what better way to help a good cause and have friends join you at the museum for a discounted admission rate!

To get more info from the Bishop Museum, call 847-3511.

Pound for Pound

Have you heard about the Weight Watchers program called “Lose for Good“? It’s a great idea. For each pound lost by a Weight Watcher member, Weight Watchers will donate the cost of 1 pound of food to Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger. The maximum amount is $1 million dollars which is a lot of food (and a lot of pounds lost!). It’s incredible that, to date, members across the country have lost 4 million pounds during the program… 4 MILLION. Wow!

This leads to me hunger. What a great time to donate to your local food bank, Share Our Strength, or Action Against Hunger.
