I am now updating all of that info so that others won't waste so much time and postage. National companies are only a small part of our donations but I love to include them because they are only a letter or an email away. We get most of our donations from local businesses and through connections our parents have. Friday we received a donation from a local winery that is donating a tour and a wine tasting for 20. I have found that most national companies that people have received negative responses from will donate if you live in their city. I live in Kanas City and Williams Foods put together a great basket full of about 40 of their seasonings, sauces, gravies, etc. I had to pick it up at their offices but I am sure it will do well in the auction and it is something different. If anyone else has any updated info I would love it if they would share.

If you do a search on the message boards for the word 'donations' I beleive another post listed quite a few companies for possibilities. You may have to weed through quite a few posts but it should be there.
