Or go to http://www.tomsshoes.com and buy a pair of shoes for a child or to buy a FEED bag/Toms shoes combo and feed and cloth at the same time!

Told a friend, and now she and I are forever sending each other emails, saying "I just stuffed somebody's belly full of rice!" As I told her the other day, it's educational, philanthropic and fun...all at the same time! Heard about this on NPR the other day, and checked it out.

When I found this, productivity went into the drink until I managed to donate 1,000 grains of rice. Okay, so then afterward some co-workers were annoyed at my new-found vocabulary, so they had to check it out, too. ;-) I *love* FreeRice.com. I just hope it's not the only thing we do to help feed people. Hey, in a way, it even helps with that aspect... getting us thinking about giving more. Maybe they should have a "donate cash" button in that quiz. Hm. Me, too. When I found this, productivity went into the drink until I managed to donate 1,000 grains of rice.
