- In order to improve our records and to keep up with the quantity of food
- that we are distributing each week (over 3500 pounds) to needy families,
- FREE the NEED is looking for a donation of a MACINTOSH SE-30 or better with
- 4 megabytes of memory. We are also interested in higher-end PC's. Any
- type of computer donated would need to run Lotus/Excel, and a good
- wordprocessing program.
-
- On behalf of needy people who receive surplus food and clothing through
- FREE the NEED, we would like to ask for help in finding a computer for
- administrating our programs.
-
- FREE the NEED is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to redistributing
- surplus produce, bread, dairy, and canned goods, along with clothing,
- shoes, and other valuable goods. Any donation would be federally tax
- deductible. Started in 1989, the food and clothing distribution program
- has increased by over 300% in the last year alone. It is imperative with the
- strain of the current economy that people have increasing needs for any
- surplus.
-
- FREE the NEED is an all-volunteer organization that distributes food,
- clothing, shoes, and other goods to needy families and to shelters in the
- San Francisco, North Bay and Calistoga areas.
-
- FREE the NEED also welcomes donations of time, love, money, clothing,
- food, or whatever.
