Campout for Hunger Can Food Drive, 12/07/05 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Smokescreen · 11-20-2005, 11:41 PM

WMMR is having a can food drive @ the Metroplex Shopping Center the 1st week of Dec (I think). Y100 used to do this and gave out free stuff to people that dropped canned goods off. I got a Sonic Sessions CD from them one year and a gift certificate another year. There really isn't a need to raid your shelves b/c there is a grocery store (Giant?) close by that puts together $10 bags for people.

I though if we got enough people to do this and went in as an organized group, someone could get some radio time to plug this website. As a grand prize, they give out live broadcasts for the largest single donation from a high school or a business. I don't think we can drop off a few thousand lbs. to beat them, but you never know.

Come on people, it's the holidays. Think of all of the less fortunate people out there. What's $10 to you anyway?

UPDATE

When: Wednesday, 12/07, Pearl Harbor day
Time: 1930 (7:30 PM)

If I'm home at all I'll definitely join in.

It's from Monday 12/5 @ 6AM until Friday 12/9 @ 10AM

In fact, why not have the meet there Thursday night and have everyone bring something. I'm sure that would be a big hit.

Can we do it on a night that I don't have school?
Even I would like to do this.

TehWagon · 11-21-2005, 08:06 AM

i think its a FABULOUS idea!

i agree with the thursday night idea- from what i have heard on the radio, you do need to bring it all at once... let's get on this- i won't be over that way much but i'll be sure to make it happen- let's organize it!

Gorilla Unit 33 · 11-21-2005, 09:04 AM

deffinately yes that would be great to have the meet there that week.

Mr Tomtastic · 11-21-2005, 10:30 AM

Nothing is really set yet. Just trying to get something started, but we only have 2 full weeks to get something together.

We can meet in the parking lot like the Nasioc people, buy some bags, and then head over, but I think we can do a lot better than 10-12 cars. Depending how big this gets, maybe someone should email them that week and let them know an invasion is planned...

TehWagon · 11-21-2005, 02:09 PM

Does this mean you guys want it on Wednesday night so you can watch Lost? That's okay with me (I don't watch it anyway).
