Rate Branch Donates 10,882 Pounds of Food and Personal Care Items to Charity
Rate’s Cuyler office, located in Chicago, donated nearly 10,082 pounds of food and personal care items to charity. The items were collected as part of a company-wide food drive initiative. All items were donated to the Common Pantry in Chicago. With 50 years of providing emergency food and social services to north-Chicago neighborhoods, Common Pantry provides weekly food distribution, home delivery to the elderly and a hot lunch program.
“It’s incredible that our office managed to compile and donate over 10,000 pounds of food items for the Common Pantry, located in our own community. It’s a pleasure and an honor to work for a company that promotes giving back to our communities in a variety of ways throughout the year,” stated Rate’s Jason Jesudoss, VP of Production, Online Division. “I am extremely proud of our group for their efforts, especially since this was the first food drive for many of our employees. We have set the bar high and I look forward to our impact on this cause for many years to come.”
As a company, Rate raised a total of 75,418 pounds of food, equaling roughly 225,000 meals for those in need. The company has consistently increased the amount donated year over year.
