If you’re curious as to the general level, I’ve seen donations from the $10-$40 level so far.

The general idea is that by pooling our money, we can get a good variety of semi-nutritious stuff in bulk from Sam’s - while, in the end, spending MUCH less than we would on restaurants, room service, and/or delivered pizza.

Does that help?

I'm wading through this dirty hotel hallway to show you the conditions these technical support staffers live in. DragonCon technical services staffers sleep in empty convention rooms or hotel hallways, often working for 27 hours between meals. They subside on chips, coffee, popcorn, and beer that Anthony Daniels leaves on the edge of the stage. With your donations, the "Feed The Starving Tech" fund hopes to provide these volunteers with a large percentage of the four basic groups (after a small percentage is taken out for the "Feed My Fat Unemployed Ass Foundation").<br /> Please give what you can. Help these starving geeks make ends meet, before they resort to part-time jobs in the adult novelty industry.<br /> Please send cash in small unmarked bills, or make checks directly to "Sally Struthers".
