The stories you shared about the people in your community were extremely uplifting. Because we work so hard to be the People You Can Count On, it is encouraging to us to know that others are doing the same.
Your story submissions helped to raise more than $15,000 for Feeding America and Food Bank Canada, both nations leading domestic hunger-relief charities. Thanks to customers like you these funds will go towards fighting hunger in our communities across the United States and Canada.
While it was difficult to choose just one story from the US and one story from Canada as the most compelling, we selected Amy Gonczeruk’s submission from the US and Kari Smith’s submission from Canada.
Amy works for Sevillano Links Golf Course in Coring California, and her recognition of Kate Grissom was especially moving. Kate is a founding member of NEXT Tehama, a key member of Expect More Tehama, an instrumental player in Project Rebound as well an activist in many other community organizations dedicated to improving the lives and futures of the Tehama community. Amy’s winning submission earned her local food bank an additional $2,500.
Kari works for Kamloops Food Bank, in Kamloops, BC and her recognition of Dale Bass was especially moving. Dale is a reporter for ‘Kamloops This Week’ and gives a voice to the many non-profit agencies by bringing awareness to issues which others shy away from. Kari’s winning submission earned her local food bank an additional $2,500.
On behalf of everyone at AmeriPride and Canadian Linen and Uniform Service, I would like to thank Kate Grissom at Rolling Hills Casio, and Dale Bass from Kamloops This Week for their tremendous impact to their community.
Thank you for helping us make a difference in our local communities.
