MadMax, I did do the math. Even though my GLO and most of the others that "can" are 50+ member organizations, we would typically only send 10-15 members for at most a 5 hour stint making about $2000 on an average day.

That breaks down to about $26 and some change per member per hour. That is rounding down though with the total figure on average.

Most people who stopped to donate are very generous. Ten and twenty dollar bills were not uncommon. But we were usually canning in a very upper middle class area that is very supportive of its nearby children's hospital.

I really like canning and support the practice when I can. It can only be done now outside of buisnesses though- at least in Indiana.
