Prime Publishing Hosts Food Drive with Greater Chicago Food Depository

November 16 , 2016

Northbrook, IL – From November 7^th to November 11^th, Prime Publishing hosted a food drive open to all of its employees. The food drive, in which employees could bring non-perishable food items into the office or donate money online, was hosted in partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a food bank which provides food to the people of Cook County. With Thanksgiving occurring on November 24^th this year, it was an appropriate time to give back to the local community.

During the week of November 7^th, each of Prime’s 70+ employees were divided into four teams that competed to see which team could donate the most food items and money. For every individual food item and dollar raised, a team would receive tree “meals,” or points. The competition provided a fun way to inspire employees to donate as much as they were willing! All seven boxes of food were dropped off at Garvey’s Office Products of Niles, IL, which then delivers the donations to the food bank’s headquarters.

This is the first time that Prime Publishing hosted a food drive with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, but the great total response of 192 food items and $709.78 means that partnership with the food bank is likely again in the future.
