[Grovenet] A Brief Introduction...

[Adam Hampton]

Geri,
        Actually I'm not personally sponsoring the baskets--I'm processing 
the basket applicants and getting that information matched up with the 
sponsors. The Food Bank previously processed these names in addition to 
supplying food and other items. I need sponsors, a total number of baskets 
that can be adopted by sponsors, so I can get back to the Food Bank and tell 
them how many baskets my region can handle. There are a total of five 
regions in Washington county--F.G/Cornelius, Hillsboro, Beaverton, Banks 
school district, and Tualatin. Each of us kind of runs our own show, but we 
are interconnected by the "HANDS" (holiday assistance network database 
system) database. Hopefully this will be up and running by October!
    So, if you are part of an organization or group that normally gets its 
names from the Food Bank, they will refer you to me--or the person in charge 
of the region where you plan to deliver.
    Adam Hampton
