EMPIRE REALTY ASSOCIATES PARTICIPATES IN HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE
DANVILLE / WALNUT CREEK – Empire Realty Associates has once again teamed up with the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano to gather donations for the Holiday Food Drive 2009. With combined efforts, Empire Realty’s Danville and Walnut Creek offices collected 312 pounds of donations including canned and dried goods, peanut butter, fruit juice, and other non-perishable items, to help provide immediate relief and hope to families and individuals suffering from hunger.
The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano has been serving the community for 34 years. Food is directly provided to more than 100,000 hungry people in need every month at community sites and through a network of 178 charitable agencies. Over 11.2 million pounds were distributed last year. The Food Bank works to reduce food waste, feed hungry people, and raise public awareness of issues related to food and hunger. The work could not get done without the help of the hundreds of volunteers that donate their time to coordinate food drives, sort and pack the food, and help distribute it to their hungry neighbors.
“During the holidays, Empire Realty is pleased to be involved in the food drive. It is one of the ways we can directly and immediately help families in our area. It is important for all of us to remember that The Contra Costa Food Bank accepts donations year round in order to continue to assist local families.” –Tracey Casella, Office Manager for Empire Realty Associates, Walnut Creek.
Empire Realty Associates and the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano recognize the growing rate of families in need this holiday season. Empire has participated in the traditional food drive before and has always been committed to the greater good of the community.
