Well I guess I thought a lot more people did what we do... but I guess I was wrong. Our team is in a "research park" type area with restaurants everywhere within a 10 mile radius (plus we're right off the interstate... so thats not so bad either) but we basically just call up every restaurant and grocery store and ask if they would be willing to donate food for our endeavor (feeding 25 people). Believe it or not.... nearly every restaurant and grocery store doesn't mind at all... and what nights are left over we allow parents to bring food. We would get like 25 hamburgers, 25 chicken snacks, 10 medium pizzas (you heard right), a sub sandwich tray, a chicken nugget tray, jumbalaya, etc. You wouldn't believe the amount of food they are willing to give up to help out.
Last year we had every day of the build period... including saturdays... covered except maybe 6 or 7 days. Mmmm... food.
I guess our team should start appreciating this a lot more...
