VTR's 4th Annual Holiday food drive starts Oct 2nd!

Here are the rules: Each forum will be given a designated area for there donations. On November 16th the Friday before Thanksgiving we will transport all of the donations to the Everett VOA for the weigh in.

The forum with the most donations gets on the perpetual plaque in our showroom. Last year the Subaru forums won. The LX forums have the two years before that. Who will it be this year? Time to get organized and show that your crew understands how important community involvement is.

If you know someone who hasn't been working, or has had to take a job with less pay. You should be donating.


Recommended items:

Canned foods
Dry food
anything non-perishalble
Here are some other items recommended on the VOA website.

Baby essentials, including diapers, baby wipes and formula
School supplies and backpacks, leading into school
Summer camp equipment and supplies
Holiday toy and gift drive
Shoes and boots - anytime!
Household and laundry cleaners, toiletries and feminine personal hygiene products

In the last three years this food drive has donated over 7000lbs of food to the food bank. Time to dig deep and help those less fortunate than us.

There is a forum (LX) that has already scheduled an opening event to get started. I suggest someone here do the same.

Thanks

Thank you to everyone who came out to our 4th annual food drive BBQ kickoff.

Here are the latest results for the drive; these donations include cash to food converted at $1 = 6 lbs of food. The VOA is that efficient in getting the best bang for the buck!

-Subaru 707 lbs
-LX 133 lbs
- Evo 97 lbs
-Camaro 84 lbs

Total - 1021 lbs

This is a great start! The goal is to get at least 4,000 lbs by Nov. 16th. Keep the cash and food donations coming!

So far we have accumulated 2054 lbs of food for our 4th annual food drive. The break down by forum is:

We are now halfway to our goal of 4,000 lbs! The drive continues through Nov. 16th. Remember, $1 = 6 lbs of food!

We are off to a strong start this today. Camaros got an additional 60 lbs and Subarus followed it with 240 lbs which brings the total to 2359! We are really hoping to get to 3000 by end of business today. That basically amounts to 15 people donating $8 each.


Camaro 144
Evo 277
LX 638
Subaru 1300

Thanks to everyone who has participated so far. Spread the word so we can keep the donations coming!
