The Dogs of KC need your help! Kansas City Doggie “Food-raiser”

So Spay & Neuter Kansas City along with Volunteams.org have launched a doggie "food-raiser" which is geared towards helping poverty stricken people care for their animals here in the Kansas City area.

In 2008, SNKC distributed in excess of 10,000 pounds of dog food. Our goal is to raise at least that amount in one month. With your help we can. We’re asking to people to collaborate in teams to raise dog food. SNKC and Volunteams will be keeping track of pounds contributed by each team.

[side note] I have been challenged to collect 1000lbs of dog food during the "food-raiser" and I would love to reach this goal. lets smash this total everyone!!!

I think this is a great goal that with the help of social media services like blogs, twitter, facebook, ect ect it can be reached and help those pets out there who are suffering due to owners having to cut back in todays economic conditions.

So what can you do to help out? You can do a few of the following:

- pledge some money to me and I will purchase the dog food and get it to SNKC and you are done!
- take some food to SNKC directly or even give a cash donation to help SNKC reach their goal.
- spread the word by linking to SNKC, Volunteams, or my blog post.

here are some drop off points that you can leave your doggie food donations:
