Rails - Sep 2010 - Trying to create a collection to use for a report

I have a database of people that have used a local foodbank. The
problem I''m having now is that i need a way to put 2 collections into
one variable, like rails does it for partials. I want a variable
@oxford that does a Household.find_all_by_zip(''01540''). This
is no
problem.

The trouble comes when I try to combine lists of new families and
returning families to feed the partials properly.. What I have is a
main page

monthly.erb
oxford families
render partial => ''monthly_report'', :collection =>
@oxford

_monthly_report.erb
new families
render partial => ''monthly_graph, :collection =>
monthly_report.new

returning families
render partial => ''monthly_graph, :collection =>
monthly_report.returning

Rails doesn''t seem to like these two areas in the monthly_report
variable without being setup, so I hope there is a way to do this. I''m
hoping there is a way to set your collections the way you want to do a
report. Please help me with the proper way to set this variable up

What do you mean by "doesn''t seem to like"? What do the new
&
returning methods return ?
