Introducing Our Second Harvest Virtual Food Drive<\/h2>\n
\n

Every $1 you donate will provide 2 meals to needy Families!<\/h4>\n

Donations may be made via the Second Harvest website<\/span><\/a>.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

I recently had the privilege of teaming up with some fellow Harvard University graduate students to support a national food-and-fund drive to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.<\/a><\/p>\n

This Second Harvest organization was a perfect choice as it is highly efficient, reputable, and provides critical food support year-round for those in need. Moreover, Second Harvest has an unsurpassed dollar-for-deed ratio: 95% of every tax-deductible dollar donated will directly feed families and individuals in dire need of assistance<\/a>. In this way, contributions will make a powerful difference!<\/p>\n

Second Harvest: Built on DotNetNuke<\/h2>\n

Equally important for many readers of this blog, this Second Harvest organization utilizes DotNetNuke<\/a> as a platform for donations, food drives, and in communicating its important mission. It is especially fulfilling for me personally to be a part of an open-source platform that is utilized to help those in need, and I am confident that anyone who has ever contributed to or supported the DotNetNuke ecosystem in any way feels the same.<\/p>\n

Second Harvest of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties is a fantastic example of a great charitable model combined with some excellent technology choices. Any charity that is able to return 95% of its contributions to those it is trying to help easily meets this bar, and Second Harvest leverages DotNetNuke to accept donations in a meaningful way from contributors around the country.<\/p>\n

Please Consider Supporting Second Harvest<\/h2>\n
\n

Our goal is $1,000 before December 14. Please consider extending your support!<\/h4>\n

Donations may be made via the Second Harvest website<\/span><\/a>.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

Throughout 2009, I have contributed a number of software projects to the public domain (including Amazon S3 integration<\/a>, Entity Framework<\/a> and LINQ to SQL model adapters<\/a>, multi-factor authentication<\/a>, a mega-menu provider<\/a>, et cetera). If you have found any of those projects beneficial, or otherwise feel a need to help those in need, please consider making a contribution.<\/p>\n

Nothing else matters when you\u2019re hungry.<\/strong> Give a gift that matters at this critical time. If your cupboards are full, please help others who don\u2019t know where their next meal will come from. No donation is too small; giving as little as $10 is enough to provide 20 people with the most basic human need: food.<\/p>\n

This is a great opportunity to ensure that children, families, and seniors don\u2019t go hungry.<\/p>\n

Please join us in this effort to assist the less fortunate who have to decide between paying for rent, utilities, or medicine and providing food for their loved ones.<\/p>\n
