A Successful Fundraiser

During the last few months of 2008 I held a fundraising campaign for the Community FoodBank of NJ. With the help of some wonderful families in my area, I was able to donate over $1300 to the FoodBank on their behalf. I had been wanting to use may talents and skills as a photographer to help a charitable organization - but it took a little reflection to decide which charity was the right one for me to support.

My decision to work to raise funds for the FoodBank is rooted in lessons I learned from my parents. When I was young, my parents worked to help many local food pantries and soup kitchens. They, especially my mother, sought to bring relief in many different forms to families and children living in economically deprived areas.

In certain ways, I feel that this campaign was not only a way for me to help families in need in New Jersey, but also an homage to my mother.

Thanks to all those families that participated in this year's fundraiser.
