Sorry too. I pop in and out to see what's happening in between meetings. Don't always think to check messages.

Anyway, here is the list of vendors and the names of the people already working on them. For those that have no name beside them, please adopt a few, post on the thread which ones you're working with and do the lookups online for those in the East Orlando area. If you get a positive for either the 8th or 9th of November, please edit your post to include the items being donated and a phone number along with a name to contact them again when the Command Center is established and setup. I hope this works more smoothly.

I called the Orlando Health Dept, which referred me to enviromental health. I talked with a very nice gentleman there. He told me to call Walgreen & CVS Dist centers. He said both of those are great about donating to non profit and he said TES had been in the news a lot and they were very well thought of. I did call both places but they do close at 4p so I will try tomorrow. I was trying to find an 800 number for Purell and have not been able to find it.

Let me know where else I can call. Being in NC I dont have a clue what all is there. I will be happy to do it.

On the back of my Purell bottle sitting on my desk is a number for GOJO Industries, Inc.
1-800-321-9647
 
Darn, Chick-fil-a requires 6 weeks prior notice.
 
This is discouraging, nobody is responding to me with donations.

Did you contact the corp office or a local shop? I think we might have more luck with local if we can explain TES didn't know 6 wks ago when they could come. Just a thought. Do I need to take them off my list?
 
I contacted corp. Go ahead and contact local, I think that's the best way.

Another great idea. If they can't donate, maybe we can at least work with them on what things we should be doing along those lines. Thanx!

If they can't donate perhaps Wal-Mart or somewhere like that would donate the large containers (one for each team perhaps).

Thanx everyone......if you can think of any others we should add to the list, please suggest it.

Just a note in my opinion, it's usually more successful if you contact local stores in the area. This search is part of their community and they will be more apt to help.

Will do. In my experience corp office's do want a lot of notice. Most local mgr s are able to do a certain amount & over a certain amt need to get permission. They can get it quicker than we can though.

:blowkiss: Don't get discouraged. All we can do is ask, ask & ask some more.
That's why I thought an article in the local paper might help.....places that want to donate will call TES rather than us "pounding the pavement."
We will just keep at it. We CAN and WILL do this. After all, Tim is an angel, who can resist him?

Tim won't be able to get into town until the 4th of November. They will determine where they are going to set up the Command Center probably by the 5th. Whomever you talk to for donations, please let them know that you will be able to get back to them at that time so they know where the items need to go. It's all we can do right now. Might be good to ask for a backup person's name in case you can't get hold of them on the 5th.

Lele: You're right. Tim certainly is an angel but he's got a whole team of them right here working for him.
 
You might want to try Pizza Hut for food donations opposed to Dominos.
I can't find the link at the moment but I know there is one that says to call the local office and they'll be glad to support local causes.

Grace, would you mind looking for a few minutes to try to find the link?
