The Fine Print

During summer months, many children in north and east King County who receive reduced and free meals during the school year lack access to regular, healthy meals. With its End Summer Hunger program, Hopelink addresses this need, temporarily focusing its typically wide-ranging social services efforts on supplying low-income children with nutritious meals.

Hopelink's End Summer Hunger program allies local businesses, organizations, schools, and individuals to work jointly to ensure that children in the community do not go undernourished. Having served the local low-income and homeless communities since 1971, Hopelink identified a higher demand for food at their five emergency centers during the summer months, when schools' lunch programs aren't in effect. The End Summer Hunger program endeavors to meet the increased demand by bolstering the food bank's resources. Last year, this coalition of community groups managed to raise nearly $170,000 in cash and food, equipping Hopelink with the supplies needed to address youth hunger.

Join G-Team and donate $13 to provide low-income children with nutritious meals. If G-Team members raise $520, 40 low-income children will receive two weeks' worth of nutritious food. Each additional $13 raised will supply another low-income child with two weeks of meals.

Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100% off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.

Hopelink

Hopelink strives to promote self-sufficiency for all members of the community through housing, financial assistance, family development, and other social services. Since 1971, the organization has helped tens of thousands of people move from vulnerability and crisis to independence and stability.

Along with adult literacy programs, school-supply programs, and career development, Hopelink runs End Summer Hunger, an annual food and funds drive that helps ensure children from families with low incomes have enough to eat throughout the summer. Last year, End Summer Hunger—with the help of individuals, businesses, and schools—raised $181,439, plus thousands of pounds of food to meet the increased demands at Hopelink’s food banks during the summer months.

The Groupon Guide to: Logic Puzzles

Challenging the brain keeps it from turning into a soft, spreadable gel that looks delicious but will give you canker sores. Keep your brain firm and supple by exercising it with these logic puzzles:

• A man takes 10 flights of stairs to work every day but only has to walk down 9 flights of stairs to get home. How is this possible? (Answer: He takes 10 flights of stairs to work … in his backpack—they're small! He just walks up and down 9 flights of stairs to get to his office and back.)

• You're planning a dinner party for six people. Horace won't sit next to Patricia because of her political views, but he has to sit next to Alice because they're practically married. Nina and Catherine have to sit across from each other because they both love to laugh. Phillip will bring his own chair, which can't be near anyone because he has a leg condition. What is your seating plan? (Answer: Why do you always invite Phillip?)

• A father wants his three sons to inherit a glass figurine, a candle, and two pewter oranges. The eldest son has already been promised the candle. How should the father split up the rest of his estate so that it is fair? (Answer: The youngest son gets the figurine and the pewter oranges. Middle children inherit nothing in the culture where this takes place.)

Do Catherine and Nina both love to laugh?
