PRC partners with AARP assists Food Drive for the Broward County Salvation
Army
“PRC Community Care” rallies its 10,000 employees to donate food for
the hungry
SUNRISE, Fla., May 13, 2005—
At 10:30am on Thursday May 12th, PRC and its client AARP unveiled its massive
canned food donation for The Broward County Salvation Army Food Bank at PRC’s
Sunrise Contact Center. The food drive was organized by ‘PRC Community
Care’, the department of PRC that supports local charities and corporate
citizenship within the South Florida community, including Kids in Distress,
the American Cancer Society and Gilda’s Club South Florida.
“According to the Florida Homeless Coalition, one in five children in
South Florida will go to bed hungry tonight. That’s unacceptable and PRC
Community Care has rallied our employees to donate canned food for the needy
in South Florida,” said Alicia Miyares, PRC’s Vice President of
Marketing and Communications. “We are so proud of our employees’
spirit of giving back to the community and honored to join forces with AARP
and the Salvation Army.”
PRC Community Care has collected over six thousand canned food donations from
their many locations in South Florida, all being delivered to their Sunrise
center. PRC Community Care did its research and found out what types of food
items were needed the most and stressed that to their employees. Even their
Pennsylvania center got involved and donated cans to a local organization.
“We are so grateful to the employees of Precision Response Corporation
for this canned food drive,” said Sally Gress, Director of Development
for Broward County Salvation Army. “Traditionally, we collect lots of
food during the holidays and then as summer approaches, our supplies run low.
This large donation will go a long way towards helping us feed hungry people
during the summer months.”
