Last year Bridget and I sponsored a Blogathon for Hunger, which, interestingly enough, raised no money online even though it was a blogathon, and raised a little bit of money offline.

This year I’m returning to the scene of the accident to see how much money I can can raise for this year’s Hunger Walk, sponsored by the  El Dorado County Food Bank.

I was feeling pretty badly about the donations a couple of hours ago.

What a difference a couple of hours make.

Last year online we raised $0.  This year thanks to the generous donation of New York Realtor, Laurie Mindnich (blog) — not only did we raise more than zero dollars, we reached our goal of raising $200 for the El Dorado County Food Bank.

But we don’t have to stop there.  Let’s see if that donation form still works if we go past our goal.

Remember, the El Dorado County food bank contributes $9.00 of food for every dollar in cash donations they receive.

Thank you, Laurie Mindnich, and congratulations on your achievement award!
