When a person’s or group of people’s work inspires me, I want nothing more than to see them succeed. I would love to have a giant haul of non-perishable food items to lug to my vehicle at the close of the Alternative Media Expo, so how about an incentive to donate to the Community Center of St. Bernard?

When you come to the Alternative Media Expo this Saturday, April 17th, stop by the NOLA Eats booth and drop off your canned and boxed goods for the chance at some pretty awesome prizes from generous donors. With every three items you donate, you can enter your name into a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to MiLa, a $50 gift certificate to La Côte Brasserie or a Zombie Vodka Collins glass from Sigh Co. Graphics! That means, donate six items to get two chances, donate nine items to get three chances, and so on. The more non-perishable food items you bring to us, the greater the chance you will have to win. Also, I will give you a hug. Seriously. Ask for one and it’s yours.

Also ALSO, if you’re one of the first 100 paid entrants to the Expo, you will receive a reusable tote bag filled with goodies from the New Orleans Craft Mafia and participating independent businesses. So, arrive early and get an extra dose of fabulous.

Huge thanks to our generous donors from NOLA Eats and the Community Center of St. Bernard! If you would like to donate a gift certificate or item, please contact Leslie: Leslie@nola-eats.com
