Presently, we've got 3,100+ hours of volunteer time pledged and growing -- at the California minimum wage ($8.00 per hour) that alone is over $24,800 worth of donated work. But considering the high level of skill found in our volunteers, that number is about as conservative as possible.
We're still taking volunteers, but with less than two weeks until the deadline, we're not going to be able to place you in time to win some awesome prizes. But we're not stopping FEEDaNEED. In fact, we've got an exciting announcement to come.
Erik and I have been keeping track of shoutouts here -- thank you for generating so much attention and let me know if we missed your blog entry, tweet, or FEEDaNEED tattoo.
And finally, our partners list has grown quite nicely, too. We've got some very awesome partners who've generously given to this project. The rest of this entry will be used to shower praise on them. Thank you, awesome partners.
