Campbell's Soup Comes Through

Hi All,

I just wanted to let everyone know about a wonderful contribution that God has made available for our event. Over the last couple of days, I have been coordinating a large donation through Campbell’s Soup (Thanks for the heads up Marianne and Robin). Paty Sandoval, Executive Assistant, informed me that they would like to donate 20 pallets (1600 cases) of soup for our event. That equates to a full 53’ trailer of product. If that wasn’t enough, Paty also mentioned that they have up to 15,000 cases of soup and we are welcome to as much or as little as we want. In doing the math, just for fun, that measures out to 187 pallets or nine 53’ trailers of soup. THAT”S A LOT OF SOUP.

Now there’s no way we could manage that much product. But we could certainly manage one or two trailers. I am in the process right now of scheduling the pickup and delivery with UPS. Paty has placed our donation pickup for Tuesday June 21 between 7am and 10am. Terry Bohlmann and I have already worked out the details for delivery out at the Lincoln warehouse. We are anticipating a drop-off between 1 and 2pm on the 21st. There could be a second pick and drop but I will schedule that at a later date. We might need a few volunteers to help with the drop-off the day of.
