Corporate Sponsors
The Foodbank has numerous corporate and organizational food drives and volunteer programs. Corporate leaders are pleased to have their employees learn about the potential harm that hunger creates; such as learning deficiencies among young children, illness among the elderly and diminished productivity of workers. Corporate employees and volunteers learn first hand the tremendous impact that their participation and donations make in the lives of impoverished children, families and seniors in our community.
Corporate food drives continue to provide hundreds of thousands of pounds of food for our distribution network. Successful food drives are conducted right here in the community by compassionate businesses and their employees and patrons.
