This is something for local kids and some locals are involved in this effort too (Ryan Lundquist). This hoody drive will benefit kids throughout Folsom & Rancho Cordova within the FCUSD. Wanna get involved?

From the Project 680 website: We are officially rolling out hoody drive conversation nowadays, and it’s exciting to see a buzz beginning to stir already. We really look forward to teaming up as a community to collect 680 hoody sweatshirts for local homeless students in the FCUSD. There are many ways to get involved. We’ll definitely be using our Facebook page to communicate during the next couple months also, so make sure to “like” the page if you haven’t already.

Local Realtor and Appraiser in the news. Cool stuff.

A few weeks ago KCRA news anchor Diedre Fitpatrick filmed some of the Project 680 team “Raiding the Sock Aisle” at Target in Rancho Cordova. As you’ll see in the video, “Raiding the Sock Aisle” was coined by Erin Attardi. The story turned out really great. I love how it highlights the simplicity of making a difference in the community, our goal of collecting at least 2000 pairs of socks, and how social media can be used to advocate for local homeless kids too. Great job team!!!

If you’re interested in www.project680.org, let me know. You can read more about the sock drive and community bike ride HERE.

If you are on Twitter, we are using “#bikingforsocks” as our official hashtag for the upcoming sock drive / bike ride. You can follow Project 680 on Twitter at @project680 and become a fan on Facebook too. Don’t forget to follow those in the video too: Erin Attardi at @erinattardi and Geoff Sakala at @rcpost and Diedre Fitzpatrick at @fitztweeter (and me, Ryan, if you want at @SacAppraiser)

By the way, it’s cool to see that the Sacramento Association of Realtors highlighted Erin’s involvement in a story entitled “Sacramento Realtors in the News“.
