If someone told you that you could help save precious little lives just by sharing your passion, would you? What if it was as simple as putting together a collection on eBay? Well, now you can share your passion and every collection curated on eBay labeled with #imbornto will donate $1 to March of Dimes. The goal is to reach 25,000. We can do this!
Everyday babies are born preterm. I actually have several friends who have experienced this. Thankfully all of their babies are healthy and strong. March of Dimes is a non-profit organization that helps mothers have full-term babies and funds research of problems that threaten the health of babies.

#ImBornTo
I recently created two eBay collections about two things I am passionate about. Today I am sharing with you my Kitchen Must-Have items. I was not always a fan of cooking. Actually, when Matthew and I were first married I despised it. Today I have found joy in creating delicious and nutritious meals for my family by keeping things simple. I shared 15 of my top kitchen items via eBay collections and I’m sharing 5 of them with you here:
1. Wooden Spoons // 2. Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons //3. Old Fashioned Ice CreamScoop // 4. Kitchenaid Stand Mixer //5. Cuisinart Food Processor
The wooden spoons are great for non-stick surfaces and they do not conduct heat making them extremely versatile. Measuring cups and spoons are a must and stainless steel is extremely durable. The old fashioned ice cream scoop is used daily in our home. It is great for measuring out perfect portions on everything from muffins to pancakes. I never would have thought that the stand mixer would be on my list until I owned it. It has cut my cooking time in half! Also, the food processor works great for chopping a ton of food all at once. This is a huge time saver at the beginning of the week when prepping meals.
What are you passionate about? Share your eBay Curate for a Cause collections link in the comments below. Make sure you tag them with #ImBornTo in order to make your collection count towards March of Dimes and to be entered into the sweepstakes.

The March of Dimes is a wonderful charity. I currently do not have any eBay collections, but this has inspired me to set a couple up!
Alison says
I am just starting to cook more at home, so I dont have a collection, but I will definitely take your tips and began!
Susanna Barbee (Zealous Mom) says
I have such a tender heart toward March of Dimes. In the 1970s, neonatal equipment they purchased for Mission Hospital saved my sister’s life when she was born. Great cause and program!
April @ My Real Food Family says
There are so many great causes that I love. I try to spread my love/time/donations to the causes most meaningful to me. I’m with you on the cooking thing too….I didn’t always like to cook but now I really take pride in feeding my family healthy meals.
Jessica says
The March of Dimes is one of my favorite charities. Each year I make a contribution to them and St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital. When it comes to a cause that supports children I am all in. I love your kitchen essential choices by the way. I could not be without my Kitchen Aid!

March of Dimes is a phenomenal program. What they do is just so awesome and I know that there are so many that are so thankful for them. I’ve grown to be more passionate about cooking at home and trying new things. Doing more REAL food vs. packaged food. I’ve never made an eBay collection though. This is the first I’ve heard of it! That’s pretty cool!

I wish I could be more passionate about cooking. I see all these yummy, healthy recipes out there and want to spend more time in the kitchen. Maybe it’s time to start a collection of the right appliances and tools so I can have more fun making food!
Janel says
I’m passionate about board games. If I got started making a collection, I would get sucked into hours and hours of looking at games and dreaming, lol!

March of Dimes is an awesome charity group. I’m sure there are a lot of people who love March of Dimes as it helps the poor and needy. I love cooking and these products are simply amazing. This is the first time I heard of eBay collectibles or any related program. I may want to try this one after reading it from you. 🙂
Zoe B says
As someone who is literally obsessed with helping people discover their own passions (through my life coaching) this really resonated with me. I think it’s a beautiful way of thinking about your own passion and telling the world about it while helping others. Nice one Ebay 🙂
Ashley M says
Love your kitchen must haves. I love to cook but i get really crabby if I don’t have the tools I need. It really affects teh recipe.
Christina S says
Very cool. I didn’t know ebay even had collections you could make, but if it goes towards a charity, how awesome!
