February is the month of Looooove...

I read recently (well I was actually informed that I read it a few months ago, but that is besides the point) that Reading, Pennsylvania is the most poverty stricken city in the United States.  Usually that is a piece of information that you would just shake your head at and say "What a shame".  But with this competition in gear, it is the perfect opportunity to find out if there is anything I could do.  The Greater Berks Food Bank was an organization mentioned in the article, so I decided to have a little food drive at my office.  I will be collecting non-perishable foods, and toiletries for a month or so to give to the good folks over in PA.  When I told my teammate about this she ratcheted up the stakes and decided to also collect baby clothes, and old cell phones for Safe Horizon.  OK... this is could be really good.  I have a feeling that I will be filling up these boxes outside my office by myself, but I hope I am wrong.  We'll see....
