Time and time again, our Move For Hunger supporters across the country prove that all it takes is one person to make a huge difference.
This July, Jennifer Rodriquez, a customer service representative at Beltmann Relocation Group's branch in Pompano Beach, FL, spearheaded a month-long food drive. Many questioned her timing in undertaking such a project, as July is usually one of the busiest months of the year in the moving business. Nevertheless, Rodriguez believed that a busy month could allow for more exposure to more customers. With a goal of collecting 500 pounds of food, Rodriquez made it her mission to help fight summer hunger in South Florida.
Montgomery also noted that Jackie Vagle did a lot of behind-the-scenes work to help make this event possible. Thanks to their hard work and dedication to the cause, the food drive was even more successful than expected.
“I am happy to report the goal of 500 pounds was shattered,” Montgomery says. “We collected a total of 1,175 pounds.”
Beltmann movers delivered all of the donations to Boca Helping Hands in Boca Raton. These donations will help provide meals to the more than 265,000 people, including 1 in 5 children, who are food-insecure in Broward County.
Rodriquez’s efforts earned her a nomination for Beltmann’s “Be the Customer” employee recognition program. The award is primarily directed at recognizing efforts made by Beltmann’s drivers and crews that go above and beyond servicing customers, but Beltmann employees of all positions are eligible for a nomination.
“While it does not meet the literal sense of the award, I believe it does meet the spirit of the award,” Montgomery says of Rodriquez’s nomination.
