Hundreds of employees from Tampa-based Bisk Education teamed up to stock the Salvation Army Food Pantry this holiday season, donating 13,050 food items to hungry families. Participation among Bisk employees dramatically increased from last year’s food drive by turning this year’s five-week food drive into a friendly competition across department teams.
“The overwhelming generosity of our employees speaks to their commitment to the Tampa Bay community,” said Philip Kenney, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.
All donations are given to the Salvation Army Food Pantry, which provides groceries for thousands of hungry families each year.
Major James Hall, Area Commander of The Salvation Army of Hillsborough County, expressed deepest gratitude to everyone who participated in the food drive. “Each year, the Salvation Army provides emergency food assistance to nearly 14,000 men, women and kids who would otherwise go hungry. We are so thankful to Bisk employees for sharing their blessings with neighbors in need."
