Foodbank Collection Drive Benefits Second Harvest

on December 14, 2020 in ABR Blog, Uncategorized

 

Second Harvest: 1 in 10 residents in Southwestern Wisconsin do not know where next meal is coming from.

While ABR Employment Services and Forward Service Corporation are experts at making talent connections, active community involvement is a key aspect of our culture.

To help our community members impacted by hunger, the ABR and FSC Corporate Office hosted a ‘Drive By’ Holiday Food Drive for Second Harvest. Jolly St. Nick flew in from the North Pole to help out too!

Mindful of social distancing and safety, participants drove up to the donation site while ABR and FSC goodwill ambassadors retrieved donated food and cash donations from car trunks.

A $1 Donation Buys 3 Meals

In a few short hours, 500 pounds of dry food goods and $200 – the  equivalent of 600 meals – was collected for Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern WI. Thank you to all who were able to participate!

If you would like to donate, there’s still time. Second Harvest Foodbank offers several convenient options:
1. Call 608-216-7220 to make a monetary donation
2. Visit Amazon Charity List to ship food directly to Second Harvest Foodbank

No amount is too small. Your support serves the moms, dads, seniors, individuals, college students, and children who are facing hunger in our community.
