SPACE Helps “Feed the Need” with Food and Donations

Saturday Nov 21, 2009

SPACE team members are filling boxes and bags with non-perishable food items to help stock food pantries in Midland County.  ReMax and Dow Chemical in conjunction with United Way are spearheading the “Feed the Need” community food drive.  Chemical Bank distributed several hundred mesh bags to be used to collect food donations.

Within 12 hours of announcing that SPACE would be participating in the drive, a box filled with food items mysteriously appeared on my desk.  Now THAT’S what makes me proud to be a member of such a great team!  Other team members have taken mesh bags home to fill with goodies.  All our donations will be loaded up and delivered to a drop off site on Monday, November 30th.

We just completed our United Way campaign for 2009.  It started back in September with a presentation by Chris Gardner, the inspiration for the movie, “Pursuit of Happyness” starring Will Smith.  It ended with the community goal exceeded by $50,000…..quite a feat considering Michigan’s economy.  At the closing event a “thank-you” video was shown that highlights the impact your giving has. 

One person can make a difference.  When you have a whole team working together, the results are amazing!
