    Re: CSC Winter Food Drive 2008!

    In lieu of food, we could also take donations to be spent on flats of food at a costco or sam's club. I know my office was looking for a winter charity a few weeks ago, so if we can slap some details together, I'll take it down the hall & see what kind of help we can get

    Also, depending on who we got through, we could get bins from them to help collect. I know food bank of the rockies gave our office several collection bins to help gather everything

    The only catch there is that this will not be a tax deductible donation, just FYI. There are also some rules surrounding charitable fund raising that I don't think we would be able to get around.

    Probably best to just collect food and clothing -- even if that means you take the money down to Costco, buy the flat, and show up with it.

    Re: CSC Winter Food Drive 2008!

    Okay my office is on the bandwagon.

    Also, a thought is that we may call them and see when they want the donations dropped off.

    They may have a cut off date for this kind of thing, as to when they will distribute it after it's received. 23rd may be too late.

    Re: CSC Winter Food Drive 2008!

    Ok so looking at the SA site, they don't accept food donations. From what I can figure out, they turn the financial donations into food. Since that isn't how we're doing this, it seems we will be helping other local food banks; FBR, DRM, etc.

    This is still fine, since hungry people don't care where they go to get it, as long as they get it.

    I am going to pass this to our promotions manager hare at Fay Myers and see what we can do. I can see a good tie-in with Santa on a Saturday and we definitly have the room to park the trailer. There was a good turnout for the kids with Santa so this could be a good thing.

    That's what I'm talkin' about... get the trailer down to Fay's on the 20th and fill that sucker up! Call the media, and get them to cover... Hell Willie B may be interested, he seems to dig the sportbikes.

    I can't promote anything like this at work (love the govt!), but I can hang out and help load the trailer on Saturday
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I really think we need to find out about these charities "cut-off" dates.

    I can call, but I don't wanna step on anyone's toes.

    Park the R2SL trailer outside a grocery store, SAMS Club and Costco. Make it a no brainer for folks to toss in to the cause. You'll prolly have to clear it with the management first though.

I'll also have some adult clothes/jackets as this is the time i usually clear out our closets.

    Re: CSC Winter Food Drive 2008!

    I'd be very surprised if they turn us away on the 23rd if we roll up with a few tons of food, but I'll see what I can find out.

    On the 20th I have family stuff from the afternoon-on, but can be there in the morning. I sent the same info to the northern contingent as well, so I'd say it will be a race to see who gets to load it.

    You are more than welcome to come but I am not guaranteeing anything, it has to be approved by management.

    Re: CSC Winter Food Drive 2008!

    Doh I just posted in the other thread before reading this one. I am willing to offer my time, services, vehicle to help load/pick up items. Also I was thinking about donating my time to one of the above mentioned organizations since I haven't been able to donate to any of the food drives like I normally do this time of year. Anyone wishing to join me let me know.
