We have about two weeks left in the Project 680 Hoody Drive. Let’s keep going strong in our goal to collect 680 hoodies for homeless students in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. We think we have 200 hooded sweatshirts collected thus far (at the most).

Why are we doing this? After talking with the Liaison for Homeless Services, she let us know that kids in her caseload need hoodies, so this latest project makes really good sense.

We’d love to see more entries in the Hoody Drive Photo Contest. Remember, this is not a professional contest. Granted, there are some really talented photographers that will take part, but the bulk of us are absolute amateurs and we should have fun with the contest. All you have to do is take a picture anywhere and make sure to have ”Project 680″, “680″ or “www.project680.org” somewhere in the photo. We encourage people to think very creatively how to include the “680″ in the photo. When you take your shots, email up to six of them to info@project680.org and we’ll get them online at www.ranchocordovapost.com/project680. Feel free to post them on Facebook too and/or share them with friends. Spread the word about the Hoody Drive. Together we WILL make a difference in the lives of homeless students in the FCUSD.

The following image was snapped by a six-year old and submitted today. Pretty cool.

The Project 680 Hoody Drive begins today, September 27, 2010 and will go through October 27, 2010. It’s our goal as a community to collect 680 hoodies for local homeless students in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. We’d love to see individuals, businesses, churches, families, and organizations get involved in this grassroots effort.
