Golf tournaments, potlucks and slow-pitch teams may be one way to build a collaborative team amongst co-workers and colleagues.
But how about doing something to support the local food bank?
That's the question Share Family and Community Services would like Tri-City businesses and organizations to consider this summer as the non-profit organization works to fill empty food bank shelves.
"We were looking for a new summer food drive campaign and we thought this might be something local business and organizations might support," explained Michelle Murray, Share's event coordinator and fund development officer.
The one-day 'Host a Store' initiative takes place Saturday, July 16 and the idea is that a business or organization would choose a grocery store and collect donations from shoppers to support the food bank.
Murray said businesses and organizations would benefit by building teamwork and morale and the food bank would benefit by getting enough food and money to fill hampers for Tri-City individuals and families in need through the summer and fall.
Share provides 5,000 pounds of food to a minimum of 375 families every week so every little bit helps.
