You might conclude your letter by leaving your phone number in case others want to share ideas or contribute to your effort. Perhaps, someone might offer a plot, others might donate seeds or seedlings, while others might offer to plant and weed or pick and distribute the produce.

If you can keep only one person from going to bed hungry, then you will have made a difference.

I'm a bit against leaving my number in a publication everyone in the county going to read. More so because of the break-in that happened while I was babysitting two months ago. But I am trying to look for area organizations that would accept produce donations so if people catch on they'll have places to drop off their food. I haven't gotten very far on that yet because I started towards the end of the afternoon on Friday (so everything was closing up). So far I got a "maybe, but most likely yes" on the Boys and Girl's Club...I talked to the desk clerk who was 99% positive, but said I'd get more reliable information if I talk to the person in charge. I'm going to pick back up Monday when everything's open.
