Well, I found that when I copied the address from this site, it left out a character. Its [email protected].
There is an underscore between her first and last name. I had to add it manually in my email.
 
...still havent heard anything. Sheesh.
I'm betting that there's already someone for my area Food Bank - otherwise surely she'd be getting back to me by now?
 
Did you check the email address? That was my problem. I heard back right away after I included the underscore.
 
Yup, underscore is in there. Maybe she hates me! ;)
