Melting Pot Thanks and Giving® campaign and a $100 Melting Pot GC Giveaway!

I absolutely LOVE The Melting Pot! We go at least once a month as a family to eat their delicious fondue. My kids have an absolute blast using their sticks and as they call it, “making their food”. That is why I am so happy to team up with Melting Pot to tell you all about the good this restaurant is doing. From party planning, meal prepping and gift giving, this crazy time of the year is really all about family and giving thanks to those who matter most.Melting Pot

Unfortunately, we all know that not everyone has the luxury of spending time together during the holidays and it’s one of the reasons why The Melting Pot has partnered up with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

From now until Dec. 24, guests are encouraged to come in and dine at the Melting Pot during our Thanks and Giving® campaign, in effort to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. For every donation of $10 made through the campaign period, guests will receive a Donate and Dine card that gives guests $20 off a future purchase of $50 or more, which can be redeemed between Jan. 2 – Aug. 31, 2017.

Since 2003, The Melting Pot has raised more than $10 million for St. Jude to help in the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The Melting Pot couldn’t do it without the generous support of team members and customers who make this meaningful contribution possible for the kids of St. Jude.

This is so meaningful to me because we have a family friend who has been helped by St. Jude in the past. They are such a wonderful organization that helps so many children in the times, when they need it the most. With the holidays upon us, now is a good time to dine at The Melting Pot. While you are having a delicious dinner, you can also help such an important cause. What do you say?screen-shot-2016-12-05-at-12-30-34-pm

GIVEAWAY: One winner will receive a $100 Melting Pot gift card. This giveaway is run via rafflecopter so click read more to see the actual giveaway. The only mandatory entry is to tell me how you plan to give this holiday season. While the other entries are optional, I highly suggest filling them out to increase your chances of winning. US only. Good luck!

Help them regain a skill we all take for granted, cooking, bathing, grooming.

    I’m involved in animal rescue and that’s my way of “giving back”. I was supposed to drive a transport for a puppy going to her forever home on the 23rd, but not enough drivers volunteered, so we’re trying again for this Friday. I also helped rescue a tiny kitten just four days before Christmas – it’s now being taken care of by a foster with a great local rescue (and should get a forever home quickly). We had some really frigid temperatures at that time and we were able to catch one kitten – unfortunately, not the second, who died overnight when the temperature was well below zero. At least we saved one.

    I like to give back by doing small random acts of kindness all year long. Just last week I was behind someone in a check out lane at the grocery. I wasn’t paying attention to what was going on at first but then I heard the cashier say what would you like to put back. I stepped forward and so no I will pay for it. It wasn’t much but the person was very thankful. In the summer we like to donate our gardens excess to locals in our community that are going thru hard times There’s so many ways we can all give back all year long

We live in a very small town, so we try to help out as much as we can, because there are a lot of kids who go without during the Holidays, unfortunately 🙁 Hurts my heart, so we do as much as we can while trying to teach our children to do the same. We teach that if you can’t give money, you can give your time, or even a smile to brighten someones day.

    We made batches and batches of cookies and brought them around to folks who are alone for the holidays (i.e.; widowed or shut-in) and visited them.
