Okay, requests are in to Whole Foods (fruit), Trader Joe's (snacks/gift bag items), and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (coffees and teas). I will follow up on the three of these by mid-month, if not before.
Western Bagel of Northridge is a lock and they are giving all the day-old bagels from 9/23 to us.
Lockeed FCU is a lock, contributing pens, post-its and sundry items for the gift bags.
I still need to get a hold of the either manager at the Jersey Mike stores in Northridge/Granada Hills, so I will try again tomorrow, earlier in the day.
There is also a local pizza place that likes to support the Congregational Church in its efforts, so I am going to touch base with their owner to see if they are willing to sponsor food.
I sent the link to the 2011 CCSFV Sponsor List to everyone. Feel free to input your sponsors and any other information that will help us toward record-keeping and item delivery.
Thanks!
