Food Drive

I wanted to thank you again for the wristbands that you sent us. They have been distributed among the Bank of America DCT Associates and I wanted to share with you the results of our first quarter project – a food drive. Our Associates are located in several cities throughout the United States. Here are the results

1. Concord - Raised $3000 (+ match) for Contra Costa/Solano Food Banks
2. Texas – There are teams in Addison and Dallas
3. North Texas Food Bank – $505 with matching gift for a total of $1,010.
• Food Bank of Greater Tarrant County – $25 with matching gift for a total of $50.
• This is a total of $530 (with matching gift – $1,060) for “Feed the Hungry” campaign.
4.  Charlotte – The team collected $205 in monetary donations and made candy bags for the children at the Center of Hope for Valentines Day. When they dropped off the donations they had the opportunity to stay and help another organization set up the dinning room for the Valentine’s Day Dinner that was given that evening.
5. Seattle - $400 in cash donations and 50 sacks plus 2 boxes of groceries benefiting Food Lifeline
6. Delaware – The NE team volunteered at the Delaware Food Bank in March. In 3 hours, they packed 222 emergency kits for the food bank (completing a weeks worth of work) and dug into their own pockets to purchase a pallet of cereal to help replenish supplies. This represented 300 pounds of Cheerios! The picture below is of our Delaware team.

We have had great fun involving all our Associates and are looking forward to our second quarter effort. Thanks again for your support.
