Operation Chocolate-Covered Kindness

November 2, 2009 by Chocolate-Covered Katie

Calling ALL bloggers and blog-readers:

I need your help!

Operation Chocolate-Covered Kindness

I always want to help others but often get bogged down in the thought that “I’m just one small person; how much help can I really be?”

And there are so many worthy/needy causes out there that it’s easy to become discouraged and give up.

(I talk more about my feelings on this here: All I want for Christmas.)

As I wrote in the above post, people often get so overwhelmed at the vastness of the suffering that they’ll choose to do nothing because they can’t help with everything (I’ve been guilty of this too). Please don’t fall into this trap! Sure, you’re just one person, and you can’t do everything; but anything is better than nothing.

Currently, I’m involved with two charity projects: Africards and Project Pillows. But I’ve been so blessed in life that I feel like I really ought to do even more. So, a few weeks ago, I began brainstorming money-raising ideas. I love how some bloggers have held Blogger Bake Sales, and I debated holding one too. But then I thought about how much money would be lost due to shipping costs. There had to be something else…

Another idea was to put together an e-cookbook. I still might do this; however the idea has its own drawbacks (the #1 drawback being I’d have no idea how to even start! Would I ask for submissions from readers? And what about copyright laws? Would anyone even buy my book?!)

Then it hit me:

Hello Katie! You get money each month just by writing your blog. And while I do already give away much of this money to charity, it never before occurred to me to hold a Page View Charity Drive.

What exactly is a Page View Charity Drive?

Basically, it’s this: Every time someone views a page on my blog, Foodbuzz pays a certain amount of money. It’s not much, but it can add up. (Not that I blog for the money; even with thousands of visitors per day, the $ I get isn’t very much!)

What I’m hoping to do with this charity drive is to get as many page views as possible. More page views = more money raised. Then, at the end of the month, I’ll send all of the money over to my pet charity (i.e. the charity with which I am most involved), The Enough Project. (It’s the same charity for which I raised money last year on the blog. It’s also where all my Africard profits go.)

What can you do to help?

Spread the word! If you have a blog, please help me get the word out by blogging about, or even just mentioning, the “Operation Chocolate-Covered Kindness” page view charity drive on your blog. (Feel free to use the logo as well.)

Throughout the month, blog about, and link to, ANY chocolatecoveredkatie.com post (such as a Chocolate-Covered Recipe). Each time someone clicks on any link to my blog, more money will be earned for the cause. Good time to make Fudge Babies or Peanut Butter Babies, perhaps? Or Banana Butter… or Melted Banana Trick oats?

During the month, click on as many pages/links on my blog as you can. Each post you click on, and each link you follow, earns more money for the charity drive. Or, when you see my posts in Google Reader, simply click on the posts instead of reading them in Google Reader format (which doesn’t translate to any page views).

Browse the Chocolate-Covered Recipes, read up on processed foods or veganism for omnivores in the FAQ section, find every flavor oatmeal imaginable in All-things-Oatmeal, see “My Life in Cupcakes” in the About Me section, check out the Most Popular, or just peruse old posts.

November is the month of Thanksgiving, and I have so much for which to be thankful.

But there are thousands of people in this world who aren’t so lucky.

We bloggers talk incessantly about “perfect” meals and “delicious” foodie products. We spend hours browsing the expensive offerings at Whole Foods, making our meals as aesthetically-pleasing as possible, and photographing said meals with fancy digital cameras. But the people being helped by the Enough Project are happy to get ANY meal. And while people like me run for fun, others in the world are running because they have to in order to survive.

It really puts things in perspective and makes me want to help as much as I possibly can. I’m not going to set a goal amount, since I really have no idea what t expect. But no matter how much we end up raising, every little bit helps, and every little person can make a BIG difference!

What do y’all think about all this? Will you help me?

I promise to try and make the blog fun to read this month. (Not that I don’t always try to do this anyway.) Upcoming posts include fun giveaways, more Fudge Baby recipes(!!!), other recipes, and maybe even some debate-sparking posts.

I feel a little awkward (more than a little, actually) promoting my own blog like this, but it’s for a truly good cause about which I really feel passionate.

I think you’re awesome Katie! What an amazing idea!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and gotta talk about the heart shaped goodies…umm they were just so good. It wasnt just the PB layer in the middle. The whole “dough” just seemed different and just amazing. I need to recreate. Is it a 2 to 1 ratio of dates to nuts? Dash of cocoa powder, done? Need the stats my love, wanna make them soon!!

I’m all over it- especially with the pet charity which is so near and dear to my heart. I used to click every day on a pet charity site and each click gave a certain amount of money. I switched laptops and forgot the site, but this is similar (and reminds me to look up that old site). Thanks for doing it!

Of course I’ll help! You continue to amaze me with your generous spirit and big heart. The example you set for those around you is beyond measure. The universe is fortunate to have you in it.
on November 2, 2009 at 6:18 pm Teresa

I don’t have a blog (anymore), but I do want to help if possible. I’m not sure I follow exactly how this all works, but if I were to link to your blog from my twitter account would that help too? Or does that not count since it isn’t a blog.

Thanks Katie, you’re the best!
on November 2, 2009 at 7:01 pm Damjana

i’ll definitely link to your blog from mine-even though mine isn’t so known. As i’m not from the states, my visits won’t count:(. Anyway i’ll still continue reading it!
on November 2, 2009 at 7:10 pm Melinda

Sweet idea (no pun intended). I would be glad to help. In a rush right now, but will hit up twitter and facebook in the next few days.
on November 2, 2009 at 7:12 pm Tiffany S.

I LOVE this idea! It brought tears to my eyes.

I juiced carrots yesterday and think I’m going to come up with a Carrot Cake Baby! I’ll let you know!

I’ll put your logo on my blog for sure! It’s adorable!

yay katie
you are very sweet
glad my clicks will mean even more now

i have a quote linked on my website because doing rescue work sometimes feels like i’m not making any difference

“I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”

Edward Everett

every little thing we do makes a big difference for those we do it for…even though thousands of dogs are euthanized every year–i save a handful–and to that handful and the families that adopted them-it sure means something
a little at a time we can all change the world
on November 2, 2009 at 8:05 pm Kiersten

That sounds great Katie! You are such a kind and generous person. I am sure all of your readers would be glad to help.
on November 2, 2009 at 8:43 pm ~Jessica~

That is so incredibly thoughtful of you. I knew you were kind-hearted and sweet and of course expected nothing less of you: this is an amazing initiative and I will certainly link to it on my blog (not that it gets much traffic, but I suppose every little helps!)

I’m also looking into trying a chocolate-covered recipe project for extra publicity but I’ll have to see how many modifications I can make for my many food allergies *glares at stomach*. Either way, I’ll definitely give you a shout out…even if no-one’s listening

Once again, fabulous idea!

Wow I love your idea and Chocolate. I have been to many of your pages this morning and came over from Gina’s referral from Choosing Raw…

I am hoping to have my e-book of Food Love recipes up on my blog next week…I did ask for submissions from readers for recipes and foods that they just Love to eat and make…they are not all raw or vegetarian, but they are filled with love and are fairly global.

I wanted to get some donations to UNICEF because I have no income right now and I had no trick or treaters with donation boxes come to my door this year.

Kind of small peanuts in my effort…but it is a start…and has become one of the most “fun” projects I have every worked on.

I wish you well. Good causes. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and helping others.
