A really good idea is doen by the brothers from St. mary's here in town. They are a very small private catholic residential school, yet they so almost as much as we do. (they only have 3000 students, and a chapter of about 20...we are at a large state university of 20,000 and have 65 members.) They kick our ass every year at the food drive. What they do is they strike a deal with the food service provider for the university (Aramark, Marriott) and they get the students permission to charge $1 or $2 to ther meal card and that translates to XX amount per dollar value, then the food srevice provider donates cash or the food to the group to give to the food bank. Almost everyone on campus on the meal plan will donate at least a dollar. (I dunno if they do this by signing a form, or they have a special swiper, I dunno) But its a great idea.
Hope this helps.
As for us at the big chapter... we dont really block walk so much as do deals with Costco or Sams and they let us assault shoppers on their way out of the stores.
