Blissliving Home Announces Give & Receive Shopping Event to Help with Food Bank Shortages

March 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Blissliving Home, the new interior lifestyle brand for the stylish consumer seeking modern design with global influence, announces the launch of its Give & Receive shopping event, to benefit Food for Others http://www.foodforothers.org, the largest food bank in Northern Virginia.

With unemployment rates rising, food banks are struggling to keep up with daily increasing demand. Compounding the problem is that food drives are typically a holiday phenomenon. By summer, many food banks’ supplies dwindle. This year, supplies might run out faster than in normal years.

“Food for Others provides families in Northern Virginia with thousands of free meals every day,” says Mei Xu, creator and CEO of Blissliving Home. “We wanted to join them in the fight against hunger. I hope our support will help Food for Others meet the demand for free food during these trying times. Everyone deserves a good meal by the end of the day.”

Throughout the months of April and May, Blissliving Home will donate 10 percent of orders placed in this promotion to Food for Others. As an additional bonus Blissliving Home will offer customers free shipping.

Liz Reinert, Director of Operations for Food for Others, welcomes Blissliving Home partnership. “More and more Americans need food they cannot afford. We have seen the need for our services spike like never before. We appreciate Blissliving Home’s support at a time when the community needs it most.”

“We believe this is the right thing to do,” adds Mei Xu. “Blissliving Home customers will be pleased to make their shopping count for more.”

The Give & Receive shopping event takes place via Blissliving Home’s online boutique http://www.blisslivinghome.com starting on Tuesday, March 31 through Sunday, May 31. Customers should enter the code “Food4Others” at checkout to participate and receive free shipping.
