I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Kenwood Vineyards. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Thanksgiving is only one week away and I am sure if you haven’t already, you will begin planning your menu soon. I spend the whole day before Thanksgiving doing all of the prep work and even get desserts made along with cranberry sauce and sometimes the potatoes. At our house, I think we keep Thanksgiving pretty traditional. I get up early Thursday morning to stuff the turkey and put it in the oven, then crawl back into my cozy bed to grab a few more minutes of rest if my children aren’t up yet. My husband I usually try to enjoy a cup of coffee together before I head back into the kitchen for a little more cooking. By this time my children one by one start heading downstairs and each one of them comments on how delicious everything is starting to smell. Still in our comfy pajamas, we then begin watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
While we are anxiously awaiting our savory dinner, I can’t help but think about those that will not have a warm meal to eat. Those who are going hungry when a lot of us eat until we are stuffed not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday as well. This Thanksgiving, Kenwood Vineyards will be donating $25,000 to WhyHunger in support of ending hunger and giving back during the holiday season. WhyHunger is a recognized leader in the movement to end hunger and poverty by connecting people to nutritious, affordable food and supporting grassroots solutions that inspire self-reliance and community empowerment.
We ourselves can help make a difference so no one has to go hungry this season, or any time of year! You can even donate a small or large portion of your own Thanksgiving meal along with Kenwood Vineyards. You can donate a turkey, vegetables, bread, stuffing or even dessert! You choose! This is a wonderful opportunity to show your children how important giving is and how the need for simple things like food are always there. To find out how your family can contribute, click HERE.
By purchasing Kenwood Vineyards wine this season, you are helping to support a company that gives back. Located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, Kenwood Vineyards is dedicated to producing premium wines truly representative of Sonoma County’s world-class vineyards. Kenwood Vineyards sources grapes from dozens of vineyards- many farmed sustainably, using natural soil amendments and pest controls whenever possible rather then chemicals. Each lot from each vineyard is kept separate throughout the winemaking process, enabling the winemaker to bring it to its fullest potential. This “small lot” or “cuvee” style of winemaking also enables the winemaker to draw on an exceptionally broad “palette” to assemble wines that showcase classic character, subtle complexity and superb balance. Kenwood Vineyard’s wine will make a delicious addition to your Holiday table!
When our family gathers to eat Thanksgiving Dinner this year, we will reflect on all that we are thankful for. This year, when we raise our glasses of Kenwood Vineyard’s Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon to toast, we will know that we have helped fight hunger. Please join the movement to help those who go hungry with your friends and family this Thanksgiving. What are your family’s Thanksgiving traditions and how do you give back or help others this time of year?
