Our friends at H.B. Fuller are back at it again! The leading global adhesives company organized another food drive from February 1-March 16. This event was part of their annual Make a Difference Project. Employees were encouraged to provide non-perishable items to help provide meals to their neighbors in need.
"Remember how good it felt when we were recognized for such a successful drive last fall?" asked John Bevacqua, H.B. Fuller’s Warehouse Manager. "Let’s do our best to helping the Edison community."
This past fall, the company held a food drive that brought in 320 lbs. of food. This time around, however, the company worked alongside their business partners, Select Enterprises and Express Employment Professionals. They also allowed employees to make cash donations which were used to buy more non-perishable food. Those changes made a huge difference, as nearly 500 lbs. of food was collected this time around, enough to provide more than 400 meals!
Once again, Paramount Transportation Systems generously provided the donation boxes for the drive! A total of 10 boxes were completely filled with non-perishables and delivered to the Hands of Hope Pantry.
More than 970,000 people in New Jersey are food insecure, including 1 in 7 children. Thank you to H.B. Fuller, Paramount Transportation Systems, and everyone who made a donation! Your generosity will truly make a positive impact in the local community!
