VTR Food drive challenge - SRT Forums

VTR/DAS · 10-01-2009, 03:02 PM

Fall is here and it's time to give thanks and be thankful. Every year we organize a food drive to help those who are needy. This year we are putting a twist on it. We are starting with three food barrels. Each one has a label, Sponsored by... "Subaru Forum", "LX Forum" and "SRT4 forum". These have been the most active forums in the past with our food drive. At the end of each week we will weigh the barrels and post the results.

This will hopefully make way for some friendly rivalry and those who need it the most will end up with more food. I am also throwing down the challenge to forums not yet participating. If you are on a forum that would like to join in, contact us. We will be delivering the food to the Everett Volunteers of America food bank on Saturday November 21st. That is the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The drop off is at VTR in Everett.

We really appreciate all the effort the forums are putting into this!

406 SE Everett Mall Way #102A

So no drive?

Just show up whenever we have a chance and drop off food?

BTW. One Barrel for the SRTFORUMS is not enough. Can we Challenge you to supply an extra can.

BTW the #1 post hasnt been updates as of late.

I believe the SRT community is around 500lbs. and all together VTR is close to

3000lbs of food to donate for a great cause.

I think 3500lbs is completely obtainable.
