The world is changing every single day… but rather than speeding up, everything is slowing down. Caitlin and Danielle have been doing their part to Social Distance in these unprecedented times. One of the hardest things for the Dolls to do is to stay away from each other! Even harder is the feeling of helplessness. Caitlin and Danielle are yearning to help! That’s why the Dolls came up with the #GarlicChallenge to give back to the CDC Foundation.
We chose to donate to the CDC Foundation because they are helping the Superheroes of our world right now – everyone on the front lines fighting COVID-19. Donations to the CDC Foundation is funding medical supplies, increasing lab capacity, deploying emergency staffing to U.S. public health agencies, providing support to vulnerable communities, addressing health communication needs, boosting clinical research to improve health outcomes, building capacity and infrastructure for global response efforts, and much more.

Why Garlic? Because what else will encourage people to stand 6 feet away from you?! Haha, in all seriousness, garlic has many health benefits including having antiviral properties. Our ultimate goal is to raise funds for the CDC, so we wanted the challenge to be difficult! If you’re not up to chow down on some pungent garlic, you can do the even better thing and donate! We must say, it’s quite hilarious to see our best friends near and far chew raw garlic! The reactions are utterly priceless.
SO here’s how it works:
- Post an Instagram story of you eating a clove of raw garlic OR donate $5 to the CDC Foundation Garlic Challenge Team
- Tag 5 friends in the post and ask them to join the Social Media challenge OR donate $5 to the CDC Foundation Garlic Challenge Team
- Tag @onceuponadollhouse on Instagram for a story feature
Caitlin and Danielle are both wearing Camo Surplus Jackets and Ollie Super High Rise Camo Shorts from Dear John Denim.
Will you join the #GarlicChallenge?
This is a fun and interesting take on social distancing! You’re right, garlic is definitely going to make people want to keep their distance lol
May God reward you a hundredfold for such kindness. Stay safe !
That’s a great way to raise money! I love garlic, but not sure I could eat a raw clove! Best of luck on your endeavors
Great challenge! I love garlic it’s actually not a problem for me!
Love the name of the challenge – so creative and makes total sense! Thank you for starting this challenge!
What an unusual challenge but it certainly will raise money for a much needed and great cause.
what a fun read
While I do love garlic I don’t think I can eat a garlic clove. This is an interesting challenge though.
This is a great idea for social distancing challenge to raise fund for CDC Foundation. Yes to #GarlicChallenge!
fun challenge please
This is a fun challenge! Although I love garlic, I also hope that people who can eat garlic will also choose to donate. How cool is that?
A challenge for a cause is better than the senseless challenges that I see getting viral on social media. Way to go!
I love the challenge lol very creative, not sure I am gonna do it though, I hate garlic lol…
What a fun and interesting challenge . It’s a great way to raise money for a great cause.
Garlic also has antiviral properties so there’s that too 🙂 Great way to raise money for a good cause. It is so weird seeing downtown Chicago so empty!
I love garlic, but I dunno if I like it enough to eat it raw! I think I’d rather pay the five bucks!
It’s a great challenge! definitely it will do work to make social distancing. thanks for sharing
So creative and wonderful idea of the garlic challenge, social distance with six feet away from each other how you linked with garlic…. great
Interesting and FUN challenge. I have allergies but my husband loves garlic. I get him to do it!
Wow that is a unique challenge! Some really interesting social media challenges going around these days.
What an awesome challenge! That’s a great way to raise a cause!

This article makes your campaign to raise money incredibly fun. Thank you for donating to the CDC it’s amazing what they can do with the donations right now.
This is an interesting way to make social distancing work for you! Alas, I’m camera-shy. I would never post an Instagram story of me doing anything, let alone chowing down on garlic.
I’ll be honest, I absolutely love garlic and do not ever think there is such a thing as “too much garlic” but I’m sure you’re right that it does encourage people to stay 6 feet away! 🙂 Great idea for a challenge and a great way to raise money right now!
I actually love garlic, but probably not by the clove alone! It is for a good reason, though. And I would much rather do this than eat a live bug or something!
Very interesting! I’ve never heard of this challenge before. I have to say I love your outfits in these photos!
That is a super creative idea! Love the pictures at the bean as well!
You are absolutely right. Garlic is so good for you. It has so many health benefits. Yup and it actually might mAke people want to stand away from you because it gives you gas. Lol!
A way to include people during social distance and raising money for a foundation is a plus. Garlic. That should be fun🤗
I like garlic and yes staying apart from your friends and family is the hardest thing to follow ever
