Comments on: A charitable week http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2009/04/28/a-charitable-week/ Blogs from Rachael Ray and her friends Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:39:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Anna http://www.rachaelray.com/blogs/index.php/2009/04/28/a-charitable-week/#comment-81680 Anna Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:06:31 +0000 http://blog.rachaelray.com/?p=3480#comment-81680 I know that you are a very busy and popular women and I have fortunately and unfortunately been helped by my local food pantry! Right now I am on the receiving end and am grateful. I love to cook, but I still have desires to make it easier on me in the kitchen and your food scooper or bench scrapper is so awesome. I was wondering if there is anyway you might have an old one that you could send me. I cook for neighbors and those that are homeless or going through a hard time - it just makes me feel alive and apart of life. You probably get asked for this kind of thing already but since you've just updated your new set I just thought you might have an old one not in use. Thanking you in advance for considering this request. Sincerely, Anna DuBois I know that you are a very busy and popular women and I have fortunately and unfortunately been helped by my local food pantry!

Her passing inspired us to have her name live on and her be remembered as the wonderful baby she was. We started a stuffed animal drive and after the fist year doing it we did so well we worked on setting up a non-profit organization to help kids have some security while being transported by emergency services. The first year we collected 783 stuffed animals to present to CareFlite this year we are over one thousand and our goal is two thousand. I would like to invite you to visit our website and sign our guest book at www.savannahsgift.org and if you could some how help us in achieving our goal we would appreciate that. Next year we hope to be helping other families who have lost children with medical bills, headstones, and counseling we already offer links to support groups that we have personally checked out. Thanks, Founder Scott Rhodes Rach,

We have a lot of 501c rescues in this area. We also have a shelter that has one of the highest kill rates in the country. All our rescues try to work together to bring this statistic down. I am part of just one of the many rescues here in Fresno, CA called ACT. Their website is animalcompassionteam.com and Brenda Mitchell is the president and founder of this group. You could contact them to get info on all the rescues in this area and how they work together. Brenda used to work at the animal shelter, but while she was there she also worked with parvo puppies. In fact, we have 2 of her first ones that we adopted, 1 1/2 yrs ago. So I think they will make it. Anyway, if you have more questions you can contact me or Brenda Mitchell. Thank you, Patricia Harley ( foster mom for dogs, puppies, and kitties ) Rachel,

My niece was a spina bifida baby. She is now a freshman in high school. She is confined to a wheel chair and has many health problems. She wants more than anything to be a chef, and she is your biggest fan. Please could you send me something you have autographed? for her? Or I can send you her address and you could mail it directly? thanks, Sharon Rachael,

It was a "commercial" for acai& colon cleanse. The woman's story on the first page was interesting, and she was from my hometown -- then when I went to the next page, there she was....a different name, and different story, including her weight loss. Needless to say, I'm not even tempted to try this 'weight loss' gimmick. Just wondering if this is something you blindly endorsed, or if you really believe in this product. If it IS something you truly believe in, I'm believing that it would be best if you just spoke out about it like you do all the things that you're passionate about. My mind isn't changed; I think you're adorable and won't stop being a fan. Just wanted to say this.
