Last week, a group of incredible team members from our LA office gave their time to support their local community at the Westside Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry in Santa Monica.
Each week, Westside Food Bank coordinates with the City of Santa Monica to provide over 17,000 pounds of food to more than 500 households - all in a single afternoon! And on this particular Thursday, our team had the privilege of being part of that effort.
How did the team get involved?
Everyone got stuck in and helped with everything from setting up the pantry and bagging fresh produce to distributing meal kits and offering assistance to individuals carrying food.
It was a busy, hands-on day for the team that made a direct difference to hundreds of local families and also serves as an important reminder that even giving a few hours of our time can make a real, tangible impact for our local community.
James Ruggieri, VP, Client Operations, said: "It was really great being able to help out at the Westside Food Bank - it's such an impressive and well organized set up that clearly makes a massive difference to the community here on a regular basis."
