Today was the final day of the SLM canned food drive. Thanks to Assistant Art Directors Anna Keith and Danny Elchert, our staff divided into five teams and competed to be the team to earn the most points through their can donations. I am proud to say my team won (myself: Meghan Fritsche, Christy Marshall, Angie Henshaw, Dede Dierkes, Jenny Lawless and Julie Elledge) with a whopping 852 points! It was a close competition and everyone in our office contributed.
In the end, we are able to donate approximately 1,300 cans to Food Outreach. Considering our staff is only 30 people, we think this is an incredible donation and we are happy to support such an important cause. Every can helps! In 2007, Food Outreach provided more than 285,000 meals to nearly 1,500 clients living with HIV/AIDS or cancer. Their clients range in age from 3 to 93 and live in 137 Missouri or Illinois zip codes. Now more than ever, the demand at Food Outreach has increased and donations like ours helps them accomplish their mission.
