An Idea, might not be new.

All the people without power around, need to charge their phones.

How hard would it be for someone to offer free/cheap coffee and drop cords for people to charge their phones/pdas/laptops ??

I have a portable power box that can power a bunch and would go hang at a park for people to use it if I had a clue how to get the word out.

Wonder gesture.
Likely a simple sign would work or perhaps a public service message on radio.

Those without power will be difficult to reach.

I have a 750 watt inverter I could do the same with using my car. Organize it and I can work a shift from say 6:30pm to 10:30 or 11. Having it at a WiFi hotspot would be cool too.

I'm thinking there aren't many people that need it now.
