So alot of people talk about “Social Media for Social Good” but let’s actualy make something happen. Much like we did for the Central Texas Blood and Tissue Center we are having a Tweetup Food Drive for the Capital Area Food Bank. We have been lucky enough to have Tyson get into the mix. Tyson foods is donating 100 pounds of food to the Capital Area Food Bank for every comment on this post. So help us out!
