If you’re anywhere near the San Francisco Bay Area, make sure you plan a trip to the Severns-Pease Christmas Display in Sunnyvale between now and Jan. 1. When you come, bring some non-perishable food, or a check. You’ll not only be helping to feed hungry families, you’ll help the neighbors who operate the display reach their goal of raising $80,000 for the local food bank this holiday season.
The display’s website now says that they have raised $62, 442. It’s quite a tall order to try to raise almost $18,000 in one week, but my money is on creator Dave Severns to reach the goal. He’s a competitive guy, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he figures out a way to attract more food and money donations. I plan on stopping by with some food in the next week to drop in the barrels outside of the display.
