Victory Packaging held their fourth annual company-wide food drive from September 19-30. Thirty locations across the country collected non-perishable food items to help support food banks and pantries in their communities:
Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Charlotte, NC; Cleveland, OH; Columbus, OH; Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Detroit, MI; El Paso, TX ;Hammond, LA; Houston, TX; Kansas City, MO; Los Angeles, CA; Louisville, KY; Memphis, TN; Minneapolis, MN; NJ; Oklahoma City, OK; Orlando, FL; Phoenix, AZ; Pittsburgh, PA; Salt Lake City, UT; San Antonio, TX; Seattle, WA; St. Louis, MO; Syracuse, NY; Timmons, TX; Tracy, CA.
All togther, the Victory offices collected over 25,000 pounds of food, which translates to nearly 21,000 meals.
In an effort to maximize the amount of food collected, Victory's corporate office awarded a raffle ticket for any branch that collected 300 pounds of food and another ticket for every 200 pounds collected after that. The drawing was held at the conclusion of the event.
The second place prize went to the location in Charlotte, NC, which won coffee and donuts for the entire office. Cleveland took first place honors and received a pizza lunch for their employees. The GRAND PRIZE winner was Dallas, where every employee received a $50 gift card.
