Help us help the San Diego Food Bank

In the past we’ve had a chance to contribute to some wonderful causes and help some amazing people.  We’re back at it for this special August Market.  Only this time, we are SO fortunate to have teamed up with the unbelievably fantastic (and equally as hilarious) Jeannett from Life Rearranged.
Jeannett has created a site of charitable goodness at Life Rearranged.  She highlights people whose lives were rearranged and how they have triumphed against the odds.  Jeannett has raised over $15,000 one dollar at a time for various charities. The work she has done is outstanding.  We feel lucky to be working with her.

So here’s where you come in….we want to challenge you to help out the San Diego Food Bank. Here’s how it will work: for every can you bring to donate for the food bank, you will receive one ticket into a raffle.  So if you bring 10 cans, that’s 10 tickets!  Up for grabs?  Baskets full of products from our fabulous vendors.

Bring cans, help feed San Diego and have a chance to win! 

BONUS: For every time that you tweet, Facebook or share info about our charity, you will get another chance to win our $50 gift certificate to the Market! Comment on our giveaway post.

Special thank you to Angry Julie for taking pictures of the Market.

We can’t say thank you enough.  It was a wonderful weekend.  Our vendors worked so hard to get ready for this Market and it definitely showed. We heard over and over again how inspiring all of the booths were.  We couldn’t agree more. We had several people travel from afar (vendors and shoppers)- Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Oregon, the Bay Area- which blew us away.  Thank you for making the trip.
Our next Market is a special one day only show to coincide with BlogHer on Saturday, August 6th at the Bayfront Hilton in Downtown San Diego.  More general information will be available and we will be accepting applications soon.
Also more posts and pictures coming up….
if you wrote a post please let us know so we can include you in our round up.

Thank You!
xo, Mique & Jess
