Thursday, October 16, 2008 HINJ Shines Spotlight on Company Food Drives
Over the past several months, we have encountered some of the toughest economic times in recent memory. Recession, layoffs, mortgage defaults and rising fuel and food prices have impacted everyone. Those hit the hardest have been our most vulnerable - people with low and fixed incomes and the unemployed who are having even more difficulty than usual trying to make ends meet.
These difficult times are forcing increasing numbers of people to turn to community food banks for assistance. However, current economic conditions are threatening the ability of food banks to serve all those in need. Reports indicate that increased demand is resulting in shortages at food bank warehouses and that private donations are dwindling.
HINJ is working with member companies and elected officials to promote company food drives and employee volunteer days at local food banks. This HINJ initiative was recognized by Governor Corzine in his speech to a joint session of the Legislature on October 16th.
