Intelexians were asked to reach deep into their pockets this fall and meet our company goal of $1,000.00, along with any non-perishable food items they could bring into the office. President and CEO Mark Jaine pledged that the company would match any food or monetary donations made during the drive which ran at our headquarters from September 22nd, to October 9th, 2009.
Daily Bread Food Bank is a non-profit, charitable organization that is fighting to end hunger in communities across the Greater Toronto Area. Every year thousands of people across the GTA rely on food banks and Daily Bread serves the majority of these people through neighbourhood food banks and meal programs in its member agencies.
The Intelex staff donated a total of $1,320.00, exceeding our goal by the end of the day on the 9th. With the company matching that amount we rang in at a total of $2,640.00! We also hauled in a total of around 65 Lbs of food. One Intelex staff member even rode his bike to work through the rain with an 8kg (17 Lb) bag of rice – twice!
The Daily Bread Food Bank Fall Drive 2009 Challenge is still on until October 16th 2009. Their goal for this fall is $10,000.00, and with our help they are well on their way. Thanks and great work to everyone who donated to Daily Bread Food Bank!
