Food drive GTG?

I saw a post on the national boards that the Delaware ladies are doing a food drive GTG.  I think it's a great idea and think we should do something like that too!

Anyone have any ideas?  I've never organized a food drive so if anyone has experience please post.

I know North Park has a holiday party thing on Nov 28th that's free with a donation:

NorthPark?s first HO! HO! HO!

Holiday Party in the Park, Presented by Cadillac Saturday
November 28, 2009 at 5 p.m.

Join NorthPark and Cadillac for a holiday kickoff celebration for families in CenterPark. NorthPark?s famous Santa Claus will host a special story hour before the screening of a kid-friendly holiday movie. The evening will come to a close with the gentle falling of real snow flakes! Additional family entertainment will include face painting, balloon artists and a performance by David Chicken.

This event is open to the public; admission is free with a donation of canned goods or cash to the North Texas Food Bank. Patio seating is available by reservation at Caff? & Ristorante Cibus by Lombardi or La Duni Latin Kitchen & Coffee Studio; open seating is available on the grass.

Thoughts?

    I think a food drive GTG is an awesome idea.

    I'm hosting Thanksgiving and will still have family in town that weekend, but I could give it to someone else to bring for me.

    If not that date then I think any date would work I'm guessing.  I think the Delaware bumpies are doing it in conjunction with a radio show drive.

    It sounds really fun and if that date is good for everyone else, don't worry about me. Enough girls live near me that I can send my food with them.

    Maybe we should make a clicky poll with dates? Majority rules?

    I think a food drive is a great idea ... but I would prefer it not be on Thanksgiving weekend.  DH will be working like crazy and my stress level is going to go through the roof with all the family visitations. 

    I don't see why we can't hold one ourselves at a park or something, and then donate the food in a group name  :)

    Cool!  Here are some of the items that the North Texas Food Bank is saying they need:

    Tuna, Chili, Peanut Butter, Fruit Cocktail, beans, pudding cups, stew, rice, pretzels, vanilla wafers, mac & cheese, cereal bars.
