Food Drive Begins!

August 28, 2012 This week marked the kickoff of our office food drive! During the summer months food panty’s experience a drop in donations that can hurt families in need. After reading an article about this and learning that the metro-west area food banks were struggling we decided to get involved. We formed teams to have a little fun with the project so for the next 2 weeks we will keep track of which team brings in the most items to donate. So far everyone has been participating, from sales reps to managers to the administration, so this should be a challenging competition! We are planning to have fundraising barbeque to signal the end of the food drive and raise some money with fun activities. All of our donations will go to A Place to Turn, an emergency food bank in Natick. After speaking with the director she was very happy to hear of local companies getting involved to make a positive change in the community. Good luck everyone! I hope we can collect enough donations to really make and impact.
