Football cheer and volunteer
On Sunday, I organized a group of NAAAP-ites to join NorthWest Harvest in collecting food and donations from SeaHawks fans. The fans were encouraged to bring food and/or donate for SeaHawks Tackle the Hunger food drive. The game starts at 1 pm and some people were lining up to go in at 10 am. It was pretty crazy.
It was a really fun experience. We had bins for food, small buckets for money and NorthWest Harvest picket-like signs. The fans were generous and our group collected a lot of food and money!! Yay!! Thanks to all the fans and to volunteers.
What I learnt:
- Seahawks fans are fun!! A lot of fans had their faces painted.
- Fans set up RV, trucks in parking lot early, have the TV running with previous game shows, bring out BBQ and its a family/friends event!
- Running upto people asking them for donations is not easy. :)
- Strategizing on where to position yourself and how to ask is important.
We then went for dimsum as a group. Having food after running around in the cold and rain, felt awesome!! :)
