Backpacks For the Homeless partnership proposal

[krista]

Hi,

My name is Krista and I'm writing to homeless advocacy representatives
across the country to request local participation in an ongoing
backpack drive for the homeless. This may require minimal additional
effort if you choose to assist with this endeavor.

I've attached an donation flier which can be posted at designated
backpack drop-spots. In order to secure donation drops, one or several
of the following circumtances should apply to your group: A. You
operate through a high-traffic, progressive place of business- schools
are ideal B. A member or members of your group are employed or
volunteer at an establishment that would be willing to serve as a drop-
spot C. You consist of a group of highly ambitious individuals who
would be willing to go out of their way to establish drop spots at
various locations and coordinate donation pick-ups.

I strongly urge all interested parties to join the google group
"Backpacks For the Homeless". This will be key in ensuring broad, long-
term success. While drives will be entirely locally managed, the
google group will allow us a nationwide, open dialog through which we
can most effectively support and learn from each other. It will allow
us to organize events, share calendars and group documents, the first
of which include the sample flier and drop-spot request letter for
area businesses.

I sincerely hope that your organization can get involved! Regardless,
I respect and admire you guys for your continuous service to the
community.

Best,

Krista Faist
