Hi guys! I'm still figuring this out, so it might be posted somewhere and I just don't know how to find it! I tried to write earlier that I finally have made some progress with a few companies!
While people haven't been as eager to work this us as I had hoped, I did find out that Meijer on Lima Road, and Scotts on N. Clinton are currently working with the Community Harvest food bank and I want to give them credit for their works. So I have been calling their corporate offices and finally I heard back from Frank, the corporate rep from Meijer. We will be interviewing someone at the Lima Rd location on December 1st at 10:00am. Anyone who can make it is more than welcome! I figured we could just ask what it is they are doing, why they feel it is important, and maybe some other questions.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from Target. They did not seem too interested in what we proposed (a possible donation, or maybe even matching contributions), but they have my e-mail address, and if I don't hear from them soon... I'm calling back! :)
I am also in the process of writing a letter to Wal-Mart. The woman I spoke with, Wendy, said that they usually make donations around the first of the month. So if I get that letter in soon, they might just be able to help us out!
I hope you're having a great week and an awesome Thanksgiving! Just remember our cause when you're pigging out... Keep it in perspective!!! :) See you all soon!
Smiles,
Katie J

Katie,
Great work! I am excited to see how Project2Day will begin unfolding. Make sure you document (doesn't need to be extensive) on who you contact, what they said, etc. This will be really beneficial to our cause.
The next steps we need to consider are 1. where we are going to have our drives 2. for how long 3. if we are going to sponsor a family for x-mas.
Keep surveying!
Zach
