Banco Popular Fills HSI Food Pantries - Oct 27, 2009
In honor of Make a Difference Day, a national day of volunteering, Banco Popular held a hugely successful food drive resulting in over 3,000 pounds of non-perishable food and toiletry items that were gathered at 20+ Banco Popular branches and back offices citywide. Just in time for Make a Difference Day the collections were delivered to Banco Popular's head office in New York City where more than a dozen volunteers worked into the evening, sorting the donations for HSI's food pantries. This food will go to help over 535 of New Yorkers neediest men and women.
HSI’s team wishes to thank THE TEAM OF BANCO POPULAR DREAMMAKERS for their generosity of giving, not only food, but time and hard work to the 2009 Banco-HSI MADD Food Drive.
While food stamps help, the price of food has peaked and many of HSI's clients, almost 70% who live with a disability, are out of food by mid-month. HSI helps to supplement this need through contracts with food providers and the help of organizations like Food Bank and City Harvest. However, the need continues and the health of so many wonderful people hangs in the balance. We depend on the food pantries to help fill the need, but many of those are unable to stay afloat in the current economic crisis.
"It's true that Americans at a variety of economic levels are feeling the burden. However, lack of basic needs- like food and a home- these are among the most immediate needs for our community to address," says HSI Director of Programs, Kristi Kimmerle. HSI is grateful to Banco Popular and NY Metro Marketing Manager and HSI Board Member, Dawn M. Carrillo. Their participation is both inspiring and physically vital.
Banco Popular believes in the community spirit of volunteerism and provides each employee with up to 16 hours of paid community service hours. This year, in addition to providing food at HSI and to other needy populations, the bank is also mentoring students to paint their schools, distributing thousands of arts and crafts kits to hospitalized children, and working with The Salvation Army to enhance their mission to aid people in need.
