• THANK YOU for helping me bring 380 food items to the @vanfoodbank this morning!!!

We raised $510 of donations 😱, combined with food donations, this turned into an incredible pile of donations that was dropped off just before 8:00am this morning 😁

It is all thanks to a small community coming together, to help others, thank you 🤗🥺 Thanks @michael.cordovani + @akeishadb for helping me shop, carry + transport the food 💪🏻

Because I’m a bit nerdy, + love knowing the facts, here’s how your dollar and donations were stretched:

Canned beans and chickpeas 61
Cans of meat/fish 52
Bars of soap 50
Soup 37
Pasta 32
Canned cranberries 24
Toothpaste 18
Canned vegetables 13
Dish soap 10
Cereal 9
Tins of tea (80 tea bags each) 9
Mustard 7
Rice bags 7
Shampoo/Conditioner 6
Instant noodles 6
Ketchup 5
Other 5
Juice 4
Toothbrush 4
Mayonaise 4
Pancake mix 4
Peanut Butter 4
Coffee tins 3
Pasta Sauce 3
Syrup 3
(approx. $1.34/item)

I want to keep this momentum going forward!
I have the idea, of a group of people, each giving a small amount (or their chosen amount each month), to pay it forward. 🔜
Ideas of surprising a random person on the street with a gift card, tipping a server of skip the dishes driver with $50 vs. just 10%, paying someone’s rent etc. 💰 
If you’re interested in this idea, comment below a 🆒 or DM me, and we can make this happen! 💪🏻

  • This week has felt like a mini roller coaster 🤯. Moments of doubt, productivity, excitement, sunshine, loneliness, confusion the mixed list goes on...+ I know I’m not alone ♥️ (hi friends 🤗)

What’s brought me the most joy, + forward thinking, was knowing what started as a reverse advent calendar idea (thanks Mom + Dad) turned into a small community coming together to raise over $500 of food items for the @vanfoodbank, + a mini project for a month with a lot of meaning 🙂

Tomorrow I am filled with excitement to deliver the #noms we gathered together, to the #vancouverfoodbank, to help spread a small bit of holiday cheer, in hopes it may bring someone their next meal, help stock a pantry or fill a deserving individual’s stomach with #numinmytum 🥘 

Thank you all for helping bring joy into my life, by helping others ♥️ A small group of people, can do a lot together 💪🏻

  • #quarantinecake = making a cake because the options outside being on a piece of technology are becoming more + more slim 👩🏼‍💻 📺 📱 I wish I could share this with friends in person, but I hope you are inspired to make your own cake ☺️

I made 2, six inch, 3 layer cakes because baking is my happy place + I love having a place to try + be creative. Although, my decorating skills need some more practice! + don’t worry the second cake is going home with 👨🏻 🤗

  • 🎉 Hi, it’s my birthday.
...it would mean a lot to me if you would give a ‘gift’ of a $5 donation, to help me raise funds to buy food for the @vanfoodbank!

E-transfers/PayPal donations to:
anna@annadueck.com

I’m so proud of our pile, with just under $200 of donations so far. 💥 My goal is to double it by end of the month. I know we can make it happen, but I need your help (donations or items)! 🙏🏻

Food, particularly sweets, have always been at the centre of my birthdays. 🎂 (ps never got around to making my own cake 🍰, ha!) Like last night’s delicious dinner from @baobei1, this morning’s tasty breakfast wrap from @chatandchoux (thanks @michael.cordovani 😘) + a stop at my fav 🍦 spot, @earnesticecream (thanks @akeishadb).

I know we can share the love of food with others for this upcoming holiday season by growing this pile! 🥰

Have a great week ahead everyone, stay safe + healthy ♥️😷

  • Hey friends, I’m trying to fill this box with food + basic items for the @vanfoodbank. I’m pretty sure you know how much I love food 🍌 🍫 🍪 + dislike being hangry by now, which I cannot imagine feeling during the holiday season. I’m collecting items + donations in November, so by December the food bank has a better supply to give away 👐🏻 I understand the ever changing time we all are in right now, but if you have $5, or a food item to spare to help overflow this box that would mean a lot 🤗 (considering my birthday IS less than a week away 🎂🎉💥)

*For e-transfer / PayPal donations please send them to:
anna@annadueck.com*

Inspired by my Mama @quiltingbylee, + the Reverse Advent Calendar. I personally am trying to buy one item a day to donate (usually this means buying seven during my weekly grocery shop). I inspire you to take this on, or send your good energy my way + I can help build the box of goodies from us!

I think we can easily get to $600. 💪🏻 If everyone donates $5, that’s only 120 people! We’re already at $150, meaning only 90 more people need step it up with $5!

(Remember I raised over $6K before with your help for the @cancersociety last August...I know we can do this ♥️)

  • NOVEMBER, the best month of the year, if you ask me. Particularly around the 15th 🎂 😉 As we continue to move through the month, I keep looking at my written + posted next to my desk, November goals, to continue making changes to achieve new successes 💫

I’m proud how committed I remained in October. It wasn’t about being perfect, as this adds too much pressure on ourselves, but by making the small adjustments + breaking old habits to see how far we can go 💥
