: ..... and getting that information matched up with the

        That's exactly what I thought you meant,
Adam.  Will write you more later (off-list) about
what we've helped with ...
        
        Thanks!

: 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.
