Bugsy gave me the idea for this, so thanks to him. I want to organize a meet on Thursday, November 18th, a week before Thanksgiving, at the Tustin Market Place in front of the old Ikea at 6pm. But I don't want this to just be a meet, I want to have "Food Drive".
If everyone could please bring with them a couple cans of food to donate to the either the Orange County Food Bank or Second Harvest Food Bank (which ever gets back to me first) it could really make a difference. 456,000 people in Orange County won't have enough food this month. As BMW owners and OC residents, I know this seems far-fetched, but that is the number on both food bank websites. Unfortunately, both food banks are unable to meet needs to feed these people. By donating just a little bit of extra food, you can make a family's thanksgiving this year. This will be a great way to give back to our community, and have some fun in the process. Canned food and non-parishable food (think mac and cheese) are the most needed.
After everyone arrives with the food (We will wait until 7) someone, I'm not sure who yet, maybe my dad, will bring the food to one of the food bank locations. I will talk to this person about staying late to make sure that stragglers have a chance to drop off their donations. At 7 we will leave on a drive, hence the name: the food drive. The drive will be a nice loop around OC. I’m thinking Jamboree to Santiago Canyon to El Toro, to Laguna Canyon, to PCH, and back up Jamboree. This will NOT be a canyon run! A calm cruise, anyone being an idiot will be asked to leave the group, no jokes.
Please, link this to other forums you are a part of as well, if we could get a good showing of people and a decent donation of food, it would be great.
Here is the address and a map of the Tustin Market Place:
2777 El Camino Real Tustin, CA 92782-8908
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FOOD DRIVE EVERY MONTH, SAME FORMAT AS THIS ONE. LETS MAKE THE FIRST ONE WORTHWILE, TO MAKE WAY FOR MANY MORE.
