Last minute Food bank GTG

So, this idea just came about and I apparetnly voluenteered to do some organizing.  So if you want a little history read my post below about being fortunate.  the short story is that food banks in the area are critically low on food and I thought it might be nice to give something back in time for the easter rush on the food banks. 

this is what I was thinking; we'll GTG on Monday 3/17 and everyone can bring their non-perishable items I'll collect them and take them to the Mid-ohio food bank on Tuesday.

I was thinking that we could get to gether at Applebee's on Ackerman Dr. and Olentangy river road as that's the most central in columbus, however we can always move it if we end up with a bunch of people from one area of town. I want this to be convenient for as many people as possible. 

I was thinking we could plan to GTG at 5:30 to whenever people leave. 

Let me know if you are interested in showing up. 

Be sure to make sure anything you donate hasn't expired! 

Re: Last minute Food bank GTG

  • I won't be around Monday at that time, but would love to donate!  What part of town are you in? 
  • I live on the north side (right off 71) and work downtown.
  • Ok, I live up near Powell/Worthingon, so maybe we could meet up on Sunday sometime?

  • Just an FYI, we already have a GTG that day at them melting pot. Perhaps you gals could meet near us and we can collaborate? Our GTG is at melting pot easton, I know there's an aplebees near there.
  • Meghan, the Melting Pot GTG is on Tuesday the 18th. 
    FYI ----- Monday the 17th is St. Patty's Day.  It might be a zoo to get together at a restaurant on that day!!
  • To be honest I heard that the food banks were critically short I just planned on going through my own pantry and donating but thought if anyone wanted to I'd offer to take theirs in as well. If nobody thinks a GTG then is really feasiable for anyone which it is sounding like it's not I am more than willing to have those who want me to run some stuff to the food bank for them I'm more than willing to have them drop it off at my house.

    To be honest I didn't even think about Monday being St. Patty's day, or was I really aware there was a GTG on Tuesday.  Sorry!

  • I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rain on your parade.... just wanted to point out that a GTG on the 17th might be difficult.  I think it's an awesome idea.  I will donate to my local Delaware food bank in honor of your post!  :)

  • Oh, and we didn't intentionally leave anyone out of the Melting Pot GTG.  It's just that due to the nature of the reservation, it had to be planned about a month ahead of time.
  • Takes more than a few raindrops to ruin my parade :) 

    I wasn't on hardly at all before about a month ago and I remember hearing about it somewhat but I wasn't involved enough to really pay attention to it so it didn't even cross my mind, I didn't feel left out or anything.

    I'm horrible about doing stuff at the last minute so I'm fairly used to thinking "hey you know we should____"  and it not comming to fruition.  I'm to the point I'm pretty easy going about stuff like this anyway.

    I do appreciate anyone who donoates to a food bank. 
  • Do you have special instructions on how to get to the food bank if we want to go on our own?  I tried to get on thier webpage (midohiofoodbank.org) and it didn't work.
  • I looked at them but didn't memorize them or print them off since I was at work, I was just planning on getting them from the website.

    Their address is 1625 W Mound St, Columbus, OH
    and I know they said to call before you came, they might also be able to tell you alternate areas to drop off stuff.  their phone number is 274-7770
  • Thanks!  If anyone wants some south side food run over, let me know.
  • Mrs. Sabrina, e-mail me when you get a minute!  amber at lcrohio dot com

    Thanks!

  • OMG this is a great idea! Count me in!
