I was recently made aware of a promotion from Mrs. Smith and Edwards dessert that helps military families. Simply purchasing a sweet treat to your family or giving one to someone else will benefit a needy child or help a military family. When I was told about the promotion, I was happy to share it with my readers even though they’re not gluten free. **grin** Through December, for every Edwards® whole pie purchased, the makers of Edwards® desserts will donate $1, up to $50,000, to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which collects new toys from communities around the country…

Wholly Guacamole and author Brad Meltzer have teamed up to create a special t-shirt honoring our heroes with the goal of sending 100 military children to camp. You may know Brad Meltzer for his work with Ordinary People Change the World. He wanted to encourage kids to look past typical influences like sports figures and movie stars and be inspired by real heroes.
