Obama supporters - Want to be nice to Obama volunteers on the ground today?

I came across the above diary, and think its a great idea. You can order food to be sent to these tired staffers.

Food bomb II for Obama IN and NC staffers-Help feed the crew

by refinish69
Tue May 06, 2008 at 08:47:59 AM EDT

The Obama campaign currently has 69 offices in North Carolina and Indiana staffed by high-quality, dedicated, selfless people contributing to the amazing effort to install a transparent, open executive to help our nation get back on track. Let's show them their efforts are not unnoticed.


On Tuesday, let's make sure each one of these offices receives a food delivery from a DailyKos reader. Are there a few good Kossacks ready, able, and willing to feed these brave warriors? Yes we can!


It would be nice to see DUers pitch in for this effort - together we tube-users can change the world, and order pizza!
I've got the Goldsboro office through Domino's online. I didn't even have to get off my butt!

★ IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

Sending food to campaign offices is an in-kind campaign contribution. Just keep in mind, anyone who contributes to this effort must be a US citizen eligiible to contribute, and the cost of the deliveries counts towards the $2,300 max.

In-Kind Contributions Form pdf

EXTRA IMPORTANT: Please fax the form and receipts for yor purchases to the attention of Obama HQ Finance Compliance staffer
Alexa at (312) 819-2088.

16. I did it! Sent Food to the Gary Indiana Headquarters!

I'm so excited...

I called the Headquarters, spoke to a young volunteer.
Headquarters is...

3305 W. 5th Ave.
46406
PHONE: 219 944 2008

She said there are about 100 volunteers at the Headquarters and 100's out in the area. They need water bottles and anything to eat.

I asked her if there were some businesses close by that had good delicious food.

She gave me the name:

Davis' Restaurant 219 949 8555
3405 W. 15th Ave.
Gary, Indiana

I called and just got off the phone with Deloris, the owner -- an Obama supporter! She went to the rally last night and said it was fantastic!

Deloris said that Judge Hatcher is in town campaigning for Obama and that the Judge is suppose to stop at their place to have lunch today.

Deloris is a delight and she told me she knew the people at the Headquarters love to eat their famous "Catfish and Chicken!"

I felt so good sending them something special today!

17. that was very kind of you
Thank you for the information.
The Obama volunteers at the Bangor Rally were giving out Dunkin Donuts Box O Joe coffee to those of us freezing on line.
If I had any money at all I would send some food over to the volunteers down there. I haven't gotten my stimulus check deposit and am in between husband paychecks.
I'm sure those volunteers are very appreciative of your act of kindness :)

24. Yes, I got the form from the website
and the owner of the Restaurant is scanning my receipt in to my email address as well.

I'll also have the CC info on my statement.

Then I fax the Form to Alexa .... 312 819 2008

The Obama Campaign needs to receive a prize for "Organization of Events on the Internet."
