Throughout the year, we celebrate food as a source of joy, but for two weeks every December, we ask you, our readers, to help us support those who are not so lucky, to whom food is not a mere indulgence but a matter of survival.

I am happy to participate in this event where all proceeds will go to the school lunch program in Lesotho, officially called “the Kingdom of Lesotho,” an enclave of South Africa.

If you’d like to be the owner of one of these paintings, please go to the donation site at Firstgiving to make your donation and get your raffle ticket.

In our world of wealth and plenty, it is discouraging to consider how many people do not share in the bounty. Thanks for highlighting Menu for Hope.
(I have my virtual raffle tickets in hand and I’m already thinking about where I will hang that beautiful painting…)

Hi,
By total chance, I stumbled upon the site listing the winners from this past years Menu for Hope prizes and I found that I had won one of your water colors, which are beautiful. I am sure you tried to email me but it most likely got snagged by my spam blocker.
I would love one of the prints to hang in my kitchen. Can you email me again and let me know what I need to do next?
