FROM, Sunne Wright McPeak Contra

DATE: August 6 , 1991 County
SUBJECT: Holiday Food Drive
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Refer to the Internal Operations Committee the possibility
of conducting a food drive in cooperation with the Contra
Costa Food Bank from December 8 through December 20 , 1991.
BACKGROUND:
County employees have supported the Food Bank' s Holiday
Drive in the past; however, the effort has been limited, to
Health Service' s sites. A countywide effort would produce
more for those in need. See attached letter.
The Food Bank wants to drop off empty barrels on December 5
or 6 and pick up full barrels on December 20 or 23 at a
single site. The Food Bank is asking the County' s help in
distributing the barrels to 100-150 locations. General
Services would lead the effort using the services of a crew
leader and a Workfare crew. The approximate cost of the
project would be $37-38 per hour for the crew leader for an
8 1/2 hour day and the operation of a vehicle for 1 1/2
hours of pick up and delivery of a work crew.

Dear Trevor:
We know that the potential exists to more effectively appeal
to county employees to support the food drives we do during the
holiday season. As with most of the "great potential" issues we
face, however, the logistics of carrying off this appeal presents
a major challenge. Since we are doubling the normal work load
our staff and volunteers carry when we do the holiday season food
drives, we need to find a way to minimize the impact additional
food drives will have on their work load.
If there is a way that you can help us consolidate an appeal
to the entire county workforce, I believe we can dramatically
increase the numbers of pounds of food we obtain to help those in
need. We would like to organize a food drive to run from
December 8 through December 20, 1991. We would like to have your
help in allowing us to have a single site to drop off empty
barrels (on December 5 or December 6) and having a single site to
pick up the full barrels (on December 20 or December 23. ) If an
individual collection point filled its' barrel before the final
pick up date, we could pick these barrels up as needed.
I would appreciate it if you could talk this over with Sunne
and let me know what you think. Give me a call if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
45�
