Wednesday: Salvation Army and ConsumerLabs

First off: FAIL. I fail at blogging. Seriously. I was supposed to come up here right after the show and get this done. Instead, I wander off on a thousand different tangents and I would have never posted the info if Nikki hadn't said something. Seriously, she remembers everything. :)

Salvation Army
This morning we had Captain Mike Laro of the Salvation Army in to chat about where they are this summer. It turns out that food demand at their pantries is up 53% this summer (some of it due to the school lunch program only happening during the school year). Also, the need for utilities assistance is especially high during the summer due to the rise in air conditioner use.

How can you help? Lots of ways. My favorite is by texting "KETTLE" to 90999. It will make a $5 donation to the Salvation Army. You can also get involved by checking their website.

How can you get help? Go to the website. From there you can find a local chapter and call them for assistance.

ConsumerLabs
This is a website that is basically Consumer Reports for vitamins and supplements. Worth a look if you purchase such things.
