What is Can-It-Forward Day?
A day to celebrate the joys of fresh preserving where canners, gardeners and food enthusiasts alike can share the simplicity of home canning with delicious recipes made from ingredients at the peak of freshness.
Whether you are learning to can for the first time or looking to share preserving expertise, the spirit of “canning-it-forward” will come through in all social aspects of the broadcast as well as this year’s focus on charity. To support communities offline, five small, local, non-profit organizations have been selected with the help of participating bloggers to benefit from the event.

I did pledge (as Margot Core – my Facebook name), but I’m not sure what I am supposed to do besides engage with them on the day when for every engagement on the Can-It-Forward Day Facebook Live videos they will donate $1 to one of the local charities listed. It’s very hard to tell from that site what they actually want you to do.
I learned that they will be answering questions throughout the day on twitter.
