Employees donated 4,054 pounds of food this year to St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, which will help provide 3,378 meals to local Phoenix families.
Phoenix, Arizona (December 4, 2018) – Empereon-Constar recently held their annual employee holiday food drive. A joint effort between Empereon-Constar’s three Phoenix locations, this annual event supports St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance and helps feed local families in need.
Empereon-Constar employees collected a total of 4,054 pounds of food, which will allow St. Mary’s Food Bank to provide 3,378 meals to those in need in our community. This year’s donations exceeded expectations and surpassed last year’s donations by 686 pounds.
I am excited by the outcome of this year’s food drive; to exceed our goal is a great accomplishment,” said Martha Hewitt, Vice President, Client Services, Empereon-Constar. “I am proud and amazed by our employees’ generosity and giving. Knowing their contribution will help feed 3,378 meals to our neighbors in need is an extremely rewarding achievement.
Food insecurity affects almost 1 in 5 Arizonans. In Maricopa County, over 585,000 people are food insecure and struggle to find enough food to eat (Feeding America, Map the Meal Gap). In response to this need, St. Mary’s helps feed hungry families throughout Phoenix and 13 Arizona counties.
We are deeply grateful to our employees,” said Travis Bowley, CEO, Empereon-Constar. “Thanks to their commitment, many people in need this holiday season will be helped.
