Testing the Goodwill of My Community - Part 2
May 15th, 2009 by Jon Posted in Spirit of Hope | No Comments
The other day I continued by quest for charitable donations from local businesses. Today I made a visit to a large office supply retailer to ask for a donation of printing for our flyers, and poster prints for our displays. The store manager was very nice but pointed out that the charities that Spirit of Hope is supporting not local community organizations. She said that their store supports local community events and charities like a street fair, and a local school.
She recommended that I go to the store’s head office and they may be able to help.
But I really needed to get flyers printed, so went ahead without waiting for a donation of printing. So far my record in getting a charitable donation is 0 for 2. I still have a few more leads, so there is still hope.
This morning I sent a request for donation to the head office of this company and hope to get a reply in the next few days.
I think at this point I need to prioritize the things that need to get done: displays and printing. Without those there would be no exhibit, right?
