Adopt-A-Pantry. Blogging.exercising.giveathon ~ Just do it.
No, it’s not a secret squirrel alien space-ship that landed just inside my back door.
It’s much more important than that.
It’s a laundry basket.
A laundry basket that will be my receptacle for non-perishables.
I’ve signed on for Adopt-A-Pantry. The great idea of Jamie@chosenchaos who created Run.Blog.Give this summer.
What can I say? This girl has a giver’s heart and great ideas. I just sign-up and go along for the ride.
Here’s the deal on Adopt-A-Pantry in Jamie’s words,
“It’s simple… for each day between September 1 and November 17 that you exercise you will donate one perishable item to your local food pantry. There are 78 days from start to finish… that could be a lot of cans we dish out!”
A quick look at the calendar and tomorrow is September 1. So time to start filling up the basket.
The great thing is it isn’t just running/walking. Swimming, the elliptical and I’m letting my children get in on the action by logging in their tennis matches and football games.
Personally, I’m shooting for a straight 78 days of exercise. That’s why I’m stationing it by the back door. No way to over it look it there.

For now I’m heading out to mow the lawn — after finding a place for all these socks that I dumped out of the basket.
Any other great charitable ideas out there?
