Biggest Bay Area Gift Swap 

Local food delivery company, Spoonrocket, is inviting the whole Bay Area to get involved in some ol' fashioned holiday cheer. Here's how it works: customers on both sides of the bay can donate a white elephant gift when they receive a meal delivery on December 21 or 22. The driver will pass on the gift to the next customer! Then you'll even receive the email of your generous donor so you can thank them and maybe take them out for coffee. Plus, for every gift donated, SpoonRocket will donate a meal to St. Vincent de Paul’s food pantry program. And don't forget to post a selfie with your best-present-ever, using #srgiftswap. The photo with the most likes will win a one-year supply of SpoonRocket!
