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).

After 16 + yrs. working with the developmentally Diabled community I concure with Carl. But that communities need are incredible, there is a segment that are trying to live independently and need basic daily living assistance.
This can be money to take a buss to go to a movie,shopping,buy food. There are agencies to help in many ways,but miss it in other ways. If this is what you want to do ,contact the local board of devlopmental disabilties and ask about the discretionary fund. This does things that may fall through the cracks in federal and local funding.
That is where the profit from The Mid West 914 Classic goes. If you want do go this way,let me know and I,ll help you all I can.
