This holiday, try the reverse advent calendar basket.

The 'reverse advent calendar' is a way of helping people with limited resources over Christmas. It's the work of a collective called UK Money Bloggers. It entails putting one item of food aside each day over Christmas.

The reverse advent calendar idea is cracking. One item per day in a hamper, take it to a foodbank on/around Dec 25. #Foodbankadvent mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/fami

Worth the effort!

1. A lovely idea, but please consider...

A cash donation.

Last christmas, I was a buyer for a food pantry, and we are often able to get deals for half, or even less, retail costs. You money goes twice as far if you let us do the buying! But of course, we still happily accept food donations!

2. Maybe wrap some money around some items? Nt

4. At our Westmoreland County Food bank $10 equals $100 in food they can purchase.

I love this reverse Advent calendar idea...going to share it with my children.
