The holiday season is a time full of community and family traditions. This year, we decided to start a new tradition of our own with the first annual PuroClean of Lafayette fall food drive! With so much to be grateful for, we decided it was best to give back to those who are less fortunate. Our food drive successfully brought in hundreds of pounds of food items for local families.
593 Pounds of Food Collected During First Annual Fall Food Drive
The last couple of years have been difficult for many families around the world. And though we can’t fix everything for everyone, we knew it was especially important to do what we could this holiday season. That is why we teamed up with some local insurance agencies to collect and deliver food items for Lafayette Food Finders Food Bank.
In the hopes of bringing in more items for our food drive, Marketing Manager, Jessica Fishero, created a competition with the local insurance agencies. Agencies in Lafayette and West Lafayette were each given bags and instructions and were asked to participate in collecting items. As an extra incentive, we offered to buy lunch for the three agencies who collected the most.
A huge shoutout to all the agencies who donated food, and congratulations to our top three: the Mitchell Agency with 175lbs of food donated; American Family Insurance Agency – Ashli N Adsit Agency with 125lbs of food donated; and Neil Klemme – State Farm Insurance with 97lbs of food donated. On top of all the food that was donated, our office also submitted a monetary donation of $250. The Food Finders Food Bank told us they could provide three meals for every dollar donated, so this money will provide 750 additional meals for those in need!
We are extremely grateful to the insurance agencies who participated, and our own team who donated to make the first annual food drive a success! We look forward to collecting even more for our community next year as part of our newest favorite holiday tradition!
