Beau over at basicJuice is spearheading and excellent idea — Let it flow.

The idea is simple…take the money you typically spend on wine and beer (for a week, a month or even a year) and donate it to help the Gulf Coast recover in this time of extreme and urgent need.

You can donate to any number of places, including:

• Red Cross
• Second Harvest
• Catholic Charities
• Direct Relief
• Feed the Children
• Habitat for Humanity
• The Humane Society
• Noah’s Wish
• The Salvation Army
• United Jewish Communities
• UMCOR
• United Way

Every little bit helps. So let’s band together a community of food/wine lovers and do what we can.
