Our chapter down here in Austin, Texas (Alpha Rho), puts on a semesterly
Blood Drive which requires food donations for all the flabotomists every
day. We get donations sporadically from different resteraunts, like
Jason's Deli, etc. But, the place that we tend to get the most food is
from local grocery stores, in our case H-E-B. You might want to try
contacing local grocery stores and see how successful you are with them.
