Intriguing title, huh? No we are not going to go to IHOP, but the winner of this RAOK will get enough actual food items to feed their family breakfast for a week or two(depending on family size). Currently we are looking to reward one family from our HCW community who is from my area.
Am I crazy, no!! I am just so blessed and want to share some of my family's wonderful overstock that I have accumulated because of the wonderful deals, advice and information I have received from being a member of HCW.
Given the current state of the economy, we know that there are many that are in a tough spot financially. My husband and I are blessed and want to make a difference in the world in our own little way. This time of the year can be most trying with so many conflicting priorities sucking any spare money out of your wallet faster than you can earn it.
This is the rules for this RAOK:

You are a family in dire financial situation.
