Cynthia: Nestle, ABP, Starbucks, Dunkin

1). Call company sometime during the day. Introduce yourself and ask for a manager ("Hi my name is Josh and I'm a student at MIT. I'm calling on behalf of MIT's Habitat for Humanity Club. We were hoping to partner with you guys for an event we have coming up, could I please speak to a manager?)
2). Sometime a manager won't be around. Find out what time he/she will be and call back. If you do get a manager, re-introduce yourself and explain you're seeking donations for the event. Explain what the event is and that we're trying to get either food for after the event or gift cards to give as prizes. Details of the event: Saturday October 26th in the late morning. Last fall had 350 people register. Last fall raised almost 3000 dollars. 8th time we're doing the event. We'll put them on our t-shirt, fliers, and website if they donate. We are a non-profit and they get a tax deduction if they donate.
3). If they will give us something great, find out what and how/when to pick it up. If not, thank them (they suck).
