This is a fantastic opportunity for a lot of free positive press and just sitting on the idea is silly from multiple viewpoints including feeding the hungry.

I have disqualified Harvesters even though they're awesome and I've participated in their food drives in the past. They have a partnership with the Chiefs and SOC will not be a party to putting any of that at risk. If our selected charities are unable to handle the demand, we will take remainder to Harvesters anonymously so that relationship is not in jeopardy. I was on the phone with one large area charity today and they were excited until I mentioned the theme of the food drive (Can Pioli). The director lives in the Pioli's neighborhood and they have Chiefs employees on their board. This has proven far more difficult than I ever expected. I'm gonna need some help on it, guys. Especially if you have a truck or delivery van.
