but second harvest is also a good charity to help... relatively easy to do canned food drives and collect/deliver them, something we could work out with an existing organization.

I'm in the same boat as RC51ed, don't know what my schedule like for now, but definitely want to help out if I'm free.

I'll help serve you a bowl my fellow poor 86er!

We can give out toys or clothes to some local orphanage, I think its easier to arrange something for the not so well known organizations. Possibly even do a mini event where kiddies can check out some of your awesome peoples' pimped up rides.

last year a bit before Christmas, @JackSmiley and I bought toys and went to a toy drive/car show event in Union City. Minimal investment/commitment really, so for those who may not be able to do much, that would be an easy thing to take part in on a Saturday or whenever it is. Many car clubs will probably take set up something like this, or we could try and organize one ourselves.

^ I was gonna suggest toy's for tots (or something similar) as well. I remember a few years back, a group of WRX owners from i-club/dirty impreza did a similar toy drive and actually did a caravan and drove the toys to Oakland children's hospital and had a little car show while meeting the kids/parents. I think one guy actually dressed up as santa (and NO, even though I'm "rotund" I refuse to be asian santa

)

I had an idea very similar to the iclub dirty impreza one. I am in touch with an organization and should have word tomorrow or monday. I will post the thread when i have official info.

LOL its not that. I just dont have the time to go out as much anymore coz working on a 20+ year old car isnt that easy.

finch1750 · 10-25-2013, 11:47 PM

Update: i am in process of doing an application for working with an organization for the toy drive. Should have official word end of next week

You pull off this caravan, donuts are on me

So, to make it work, organize a meet early enough in the morning so donuts are still the breakfast of champs, then we caravan the toys to the designated location. Have the toy before getting to the meet/caravan.

I remember @JackSmiley bringing us Jollibee bfast on one caravan. Invite him!!!!
