Looking for a worthwhile charity, for the Fall Foliage Run Options

[seanery]

I think that the 2004 is gonna be a little bit different than last year. Some things will probably still be the same like the free T-Shirt, but there may be more stuff. I'd like to support a local/regional/national charity. I was thinking about having folks bring either toys or food or xxxx. I want folks to bring as much as whatever as they can afford/fit in their car. So, I'm looking incentives. I think I've got that figured out, but mum's the word.

Anyway, back to the question.
My first thought was Gleener's Food Bank or The Salvation Army. I'd love to hear other's ideas.
Please answer if you are in the region or are thinking/planning on attending the 2004 event (see Club Calendar for date).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) for giving this some thought. Any of the agencies proposed in this thread would be very worthwhile. I'm a bit cautious about Yoders ride-along idea -> tough to publicize, coordinate, liability problems, unpredictable kids, parents and driver, to say nothing of the cars ...

I'm on the board of the Second Harvest Food Bank in San Jose. Any effort like this to provide food, cash donations and to raise the awareness of hunger in the community is very much appreciated.
