44 bucks or 44 cans

There was just a story about a local food bank in Seattle where they are having a drive in honor of the inauguration of Barack Obama. They are asking those who are able to donate $44.00 in cash or 44 cans of food to their local food bank in honor of Obama being the 44th president. I haven't seen anything about it before and the only mention I could find online was this Facebook page, which also seems to be centered in Seattle.

I know that not everyone who voted for Obama would be able to do this, but it would be fantastic if as many as possible could. It would really show how much we support our new president. Maybe we can spread the word and make this into a national -- even worldwide -- phenomenon.
