sign up WMMR'S Camp Out for Hunger (Jeep style)

Ok people, this is a good chance to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate while giving our club very positive and public exposure. Here are the details that I have for now;
This event will be held December 2nd, yes it's a weekday and I know you all just can't blow off work.
Time: is from 1:30 PM - 3 PM with an informal get together in the Camp Out For Hunger Tent afterwards.
Place: Xfinity Live parking lot H. If you cannot make the event that's ok, if you can collect canned goods you are doing enough. I will pick up any and all donated food from anywhere in the state of Delaware as well as southeastern PA. Lets show that DEJA is still a force in the jeep world ! The full details were posted in our jeep talk forum.

This Sundays club meeting could be a good start for collection for any donations, just saying.

Country Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge in Oxford will allow us to use them as a drop off point if we can get some member involvement to make this happen.

I think a lot of people want to, its just having to take off work

That is understood, but collecting the Canned goods should not be too intrusive of personal schedules. Getting the food picked up and to the drop off point that Wednesday will be handled

And we are rolling off to a good start. Thanks to all that brought canned goods to the meeting last night and thanks to DEJA for the cash donation. We will be making a trip to the local ACME to put it to good use. As of this time Between the money from DEJA and the donated money from the 50/50 we had $334.00 I threw in another 16 to round off at $350.00, what a great start !

ACME is partnered up with the event and has pre made bags for sale at $10 per bag, supposedly the contents of the bags are what philabundance said there is the most need of. Thanks for the thought though.

What Should You Collect for Camp Out for Hunger
The list below includes some of the most needed and highest in demand items for our communities. Choose products that are in boxes, cans, plastic bottles or non-breakable jars and do not have to be refrigerated. Bread and baked goods are not suitable because of their short shelf life. Items should be recently purchased and in good condition.
Most Needed Items  Canned/Shelf Stable Meats (Including Tuna)  Canned Beef Stew  Canned Chili  Canned Pasta, Beef Ravioli  Creamy Peanut Butter (Plastic Containers Only)  Jelly (Plastic Containers Only)  Macaroni & Cheese  Canned Soup  Canned Fruits and Vegetables  Breakfast Cereal or Hot Cereal

Least Requested Items  Bottled Water  Potato Chips  Seasonal Items (i.e. cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie mix, peppermint flavored items, holiday themed items)

Received another cash donation of $50 yesterday, this will boost our cash total to $400.00, not too bad !

I have a Costco membership if that is the way you want to go.

I will let you know if we go that route. Thank you for the offer

Stopped by Acme yesterday to check out their pre packaged bags, they are not that impressive. Philabundance states on their website that canned food with meat is high priority. As of now I'm considering $200 worth of Campbell ravioli (just under $1 per can) and $200 of canned chili. Does anyone else have any input? Between the club the 50/50 and a generous $50 donation from my mom we are sitting at $400.00. I'll be in the Felton area today if anyone wants to contribute cash or canned donations.
