Story
Last year, the WE in Weatherby partnered with CompHealth for our first-ever virtual food drive to raise money and fight hunger across America. And I’m proud to say that together, we raised $12,000 to support local food banks in Utah, North Carolina, and Florida!
Now, we’re looking to do it again!
This year, each of division has a goal to raise $4,500 for local food banks. That’s about $5 per person!
At Weatherby, our donations will go straight to Feeding South Florida (with a goal of $2,750) and The Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina (with a goal of $1,750). At CompHealth, they'll donate much-needed money to the Utah Food Bank.
Talk about making a huge difference!
To put that into perspective:
- 1 in 6 individuals in Florida’s Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties do not know where they will get their next meal.
- 588,240 people across 34 counties in central and eastern North Carolina are facing hunger.
- 410,000 Utahns (or 1 in 8 individuals) are at risk of missing a meal every day.
For every $1 we donate, our food banks can provide 9 meals for the above people. By reaching our goal, we’ll be providing more than 126,000 meals!
