Scarlet Management Group Volunteers at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank

On Thursday, July 3 2014 several members of the Scarlet Management Group team will be volunteering their time at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank here in the Columbus area. We love volunteering our time to help those that are less-fortunate, so we are very excited about this upcoming opportunity!

The Mid-Ohio Foodbank is an organization that collects and distributes food and grocery products to more than 500 partner agencies, including food pantries, after school programs, emergency shelters and soup kitchens. Hunger is a very real problem that can affect immune system, mood, and development and learning especially in children. The Mid-Ohio Foodbank helps ease the pain of hunger by collecting food from restaurants, distributors, retailers and food industry partners. This food then helps feed the 250,000 hungry people in the state of Ohio who do not have the benefit of regular meals. On their website, they state that their mission is “To end hunger one nourishing meal at a time, and co-create a sustainable community where everyone thrives.”

When our team members volunteer at the foodbank, they will be doing an assortment of tasks, including inspecting and sorting discarded grocery store items, building care packages for seniors, and repacking and labeling the donated goods. We believe that as a business, volunteering to give back to the community that we do business in is absolutely essential, and we are very excited to be able to lend a hand to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank in any way possible.
