Employees at Nike's world headquarters recently organized a food drive to help fight hunger in Oregon during the holiday season.
From December 3-19, Nike's team members were encouraged to bring in donations of canned goods, peanut butter, pasta, cereal, and other non-perishable items to lend a helping hand to their neighbors in need. We connected Nike with our friends from Chipman Relocation & Logistics who, in addition to donating boxes for the event, also decided to hold a food drive of their own! Together, they collected 315 lbs. of food, which is enough to provide 262 meals!
"At NIKE, Inc., community has been at the core of who we are and what we do," said Tanya Mariottini, Nike's Director of Talent Mobility. "Leveraging our partnership with Move For Hunger, our HR Total Rewards organization participated in the Season of Giving food drive to make an impact in our local community."
Chipman Relocation & Logistics delivered all of the donations to the Oregon Food Bank, which distributes food through a statewide network of 21 regional food banks and 1,200 food assistance sites.
More than 582,000 people in Oregon are food insecure, including 1 in 8 children. Thank you to everyone from Nike and Chipman Relocation & Logistics for making time to make a difference.
