So if you’re around, come by and bring some nonperishables, and we’ll donate them to the food bank for you. The most needed items include: peanut butter, canned meat (tuna and chicken), canned vegetables, canned fruit, pasta, cereal.
If you’re not in the Nashville area and can’t make the event, you can still participate by tagging ANY food photos on Instagram with the tag #ABMfooddrive. We are donating $1 for every photo (up to $10,000). And I don’t want to make you guys feel bad, but we need MORE POSTS. Keep posting! Tell your friends! It’s an easy way to give back and make a real difference in our communities.
Love you, guys! Can’t wait to meet some of you on Sunday!! Elsie + Emma too

Does the tag still count if my instagram is set to private?
Hi Julia! Unfortunately it won’t show up if you’re profile is private. -Jacki
This is so great! I am baking banana bread tonight to bring to a friend so I’ll be sure to tag it. 🙂
For work a couple years ago, I had to interview a woman who has run a Chicago food pantry for over 30 years. Your recommendations are spot on re: what is needed. If local ABM readers plan to bring tuna, think about getting cans with pop-tops. That makes it easier for homeless people to eat.
If anyone not in Nashville is curious about ways to help the hungry in their community, something she said to keep in mind was this: “Don’t just raid your cupboards for unwanted food; ask your food pantry want they need. … No recipient at our pantry ever wants gefilte fish, coconut milk, miso, bamboo shoots, or water chestnuts.”
She also mentioned that it’s the end of the month when they see the greatest demand, so the timing of your event is spot on.
Good luck and thanks for all the good you do IRL in your community and by keeping up this blog. It’s always a spot of sunshine in my day.
This is a great time of year for a food drive. I always donate to a huge Thanksgiving drive here in Virginia Beach. Good luck!
They both look lovely together.
Can we tag old photos??
Yep! Thanks so much 🙂 -Jacki
Question related to A Color Story App. Is there support I can speak to about the fact that I paid for the full version on my last phone and recently got a new phone and went to download it to find I do not have access to the full version I paid for any longer? I love your blog and apps but this was very disappointing for me.
Hi Bri! No problem. Just click on the Shop button to restore your purchases. If you need anything else just contact us at acolorstory.com/support. -Jacki
Does this work if I am in the UK?
Yes! Any food photos count. Thanks so much! -Jacki
Do we have to wear some sort of leafy headband?
