We hit up people for cash be it other scooterists, friends, family, coworkers etc. Bear in mind some folks don't necessarily approve of what we do so use discretion in your work environment. Rival Gangsters kick in $ if they can but it is NOT required. Times are tough we are not going to tell people how to spend their money. Leg work is very much appreciated whether it's collecting, packaging or distributing, but again NOT required. I'll get some pins made up, donations of $20 or more receive a commemorative pin while supplies last. If somebody wants to donate tube socks, smokes, half pints instead of cash...ain't nothin' wrong with that. Cigarette coupons are always a good thing to aquire. We usually see what kind of cash we're working with before we start buying stuff. Total Beverage always cuts me a good deal on half pints and we have a semi good connect for cigarettes. The best deals on tube socks are usually at Walmart, Target, BigLots etc.
It's never too early to start!
