Geek Food Drive

It is estimated that over 33.5 million people in the United States and Canada will go hungry during the holidays this year. According to my data, which is a bit old, there are well over 180,000 registered user group members in the United States and Canada.

My challenge is simple: for all user groups to hold a food drive at their meeting this month. There is plenty of need, especially this year!

To this end, I've put up a simple website: http://www.GeekFoodDrive.com

I'm coordinating with sponsors to provide swag based on donations relative to attendees, to be fair to all groups large and small.

If you can help at all, let me know! Together, we can make a serious dent in hunger this holiday season!
