(posting now since we are unlocked)
The thread is locked so I am sending this direct for now. Another suggestion for contact points for supplies would be:
Healthfood, gyms, athletic supply stores: all should have gatorade, powerbars etc that they may be willing to donate and probably not getting as many direct inquiries.
Professional services that don't seem like go to options such as dentist, realtors, car shops, daycares, teachers will often pool together to sponsor something being donated. ie contact them with a "for $50 we can provide the following to the search" "for $100 we can provide"..... they often are willing to help but don't realize how much they could do for a small amount of money.
Has the local distribution companies for pepsi (aquafina) been contacted and asked for a pallet of water?
I am happy to make calls and have experience doing so but I don't want to repeat work or hop in the wrong spot.
When KlaasKids went to search for Amber Harris it was my job to get "stuff" for all the searchers.
The water companies are the best. What I would suggest is two people divide a list of companies and call and ask for donations. Also check with TES to make sure you are not calling the same people.
IF COMPANY DONATES ANYTHING TO THE TES SEARCH I WILL PUT A THANK YOU ON WS WITH THEIR LOCATION, TELEPHONE, WEBSITE, AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY WANT. I will do it in a sponsor thread. We will stick it so it stays at the top.
