Veggie Cookbook Sales Will Benefit Meals On Wheels People

PORTLAND, OR - From Meals On Wheels People: On the third anniversary of the hardback release of his first cookbook, Veggiessentials 101, Seattle author Brandon Dombrowsky will release an expanded digital edition as a fundraising benefit for Northwest Harvest and Meals on Wheels People. Dombrowsky and his team hope to raise $5,000 for each organization, or $10,000 dollars in total net proceeds.

Dombrowsky’s primary goal is twofold. First, he hopes to promote a deeper understanding in the Seattle and Portland areas of what food insecurity is, and why even in a strong economy there is an uptick in food-need services. Secondarily, and to achieve this end, Dombrowsky built a team of volunteer professionals to complete the digital edition as a means of inspiring others to give, too.

The people making Dombrowsky’s gift possible include all the major players that worked with him on the hard-back print edition. Each of these individuals have joined this new effort and are donating their time and expertise. Each of them a snowflake—with their own stories, voices, and reasons to give from their hearts—that Dombrowsky has shaped into the snowball he prepared to send down a blizzard-covered mountainside.

In initiating the campaign and offering donors a gift for their contribution, Dombrowsky and the team he’s assembled hope to build the kind of momentum—a community joined together as a coalition of givers—that would intimidate an avalanche.
