The Corporate Center Drive office’s Food Pantry Year of Giving donation competition wrapped up recently, resulting in 2,872 items being donated for families in need.
Each month a new theme was set for donations, and teams would compete to bring in the most items throughout the month. December 2018 saw the most items brought in with 621 cans or bags of soup being donated. The winning team for reach month was awarded a random prize, which included things like coffee and doughnuts, bagels, or an additional casual dress day.
The campaign was introduced to the Oconomowoc office by Kimberly Teresinski, senior accountant, who also organized each month’s collection and counted the donations.
"I am blown away by everyone’s generosity and willingness to play along with the competition," Kimberly says. "Through the Oconomowoc Food Pantry, we were able to help our local community even more than I had hoped."
