Has anyone been a Food Bank Coordinator for their local Ameican Second Harvest Food Bank? I was signed up to be one at Conference, and was told I would be receiving the paperwork on it right after Conference was over. Well, I guess I am just a little too antsy or something, but I have not received anything as of yet. I was curious as to how others handeled the Food Bank's Fund-raiser that has to be done. I have done my fair share of Fund-raisers (even though I think that the company has a sorry program as far as for the org. or group donations AND us as well!) I feel I do so much more with a fund-raiser as far as with the books, paperwork I supply them, the extra efforts I extend to them with assistance and time devoted to help them, as well as helping to get it publicized or whatever. Then, I also think we are being shafted or punished for helping the good cause for having to take the commision percentage drop for that show. Not to mention, I usually give a little of my commision to help them out as well taking the money from my family.
I live in Northeast Arkansas. My local ASH food bank (which is an hour away for me) was taken by someone else so my other choice was to take a food bank either three hours from me in Southern AR, or one that is and hour north of me in Southeast Missouri in Sikeston, MO. Sikeston was the one I choose, but I am now feeling guilty for helping MO rather that my home state. Should I feel this was or am I taking this to far. I am curious and would like some feedback from some is or has been a Food Bank Coordinator or anyone that would like to voice their opinion. By the way, I am not doing this to get into the Breakfast for Caring next year (I have been in for two out of two years!), but this is near and dear to my heart.
In Good Taste!
