Rockburn Cyclocross - Food & Clothing Drive

Thank you to everyone who donated to AFC's Food & Clothing Drive at the Rockburn Cyclocross race this past weekend. Here is a report from Bill Blandford who delivered the goods:
Food and clothing donations from AFC's Rockburn CycloCross registration effort were delivered to the Route 1 Day Center last night at 5:30 PM. The polka dotted collection box (4'X2'X2') was overflowing with clothing and canned goods on race day. It took me 10 minutes to unload the box and pack it into the back of the SUV. The donations filled the entire cargo area all the way up to the windows!
When I arrived at the Route 1 Day Center a nice gentleman saw me unloading and I asked if he worked there. "No, he replied. I'm one of the lost souls. You look like you need some volunteers." Two minutes later the car was unloaded as 8 men arrived on the scene to help. Thanks and happy holiday wishes were exchanged by all and I can only imagine the activity surrounding the donations that ensued after I left. Props to all who contributed especially Jen and Madi for the brilliant idea.
